Published to mark the occasion of Didier Vermeirens (b. 1951) eponymous solo exhibition at WIELS in Brussels, Double Exposition takes its name from a photograph by Vermeiren that refers to its own double exposure (exposition in French, which also translates as exhibition). The title thus evokes the recurrent strategies of repetition, reversal, doubling, and inversion that Vermeiren explores in his work.

Conceived by the artist and containing a rich array of his striking photographs, this book also features an in-depth analysis of Vermeirens most recent sculptures written by long-term commentator on his practice, Michel Gauthier; an essay on the central role of photography in his studio practice by Susana Gállego-Cuesta; and a look at the shifts and continuities in his oeuvre over the past four decades by the exhibitions curator, Zoë Gray.
