Building on her Forget Me Not series (2022), Joëlle Dubois’s work has grown into a trilogy of exhibitions that come together in this monograph as one powerful whole. In this poignant monograph, inspired by her mother’s Alzheimer’s, she explores themes such as loss, grief, memory, and love.
With intimate images ranging from self-portraits to tender scenes with her mother, Dubois unfolds a poetic reflection on connection, identity, and healing. For this series, she also presents impressive sculptural work for the first time, and this book gains an extra dimension with video stills. Dubois offers a raw, honest, and comforting portrait of life, loss, and hope for a new beginning.
With text contributions by, among others, Katrina Schwarz (Whitechapel Gallery, London), Christel Tsilibaris (BOZAR, Brussels), and Patrick Ronse (Be-Part, Kortrijk).
Joëlle Dubois (b. 1990, Ghent, Belgium) is a contemporary painter known for her bold, colourful works that examine the intersection of digital culture and human vulnerability. Inspired by Japanese erotic block prints, Dubois explores themes of feminism, self-perception, and the pervasive influence of social media on women’s lives. Her playful yet poignant visual language captures the complexities of modern identity, blending hope and critique. Dubois’ work has been exhibited internationally, earning recognition for its raw, honest reflection of today’s social zeitgeist.
