Maarten Vanden Abeele (1970) is a Belgian photographer, cinematographer and visual artist. He develops his visual art by creating installations in combination with his photo-works and performances, directed and, sometimes, performed by himself. His work led to (long-term) collaborations with, among others, Pina Bausch, Opéra National de Paris, dEUS, Jan Fabre and Vogue Paris.
Maarten Vanden Abeele portrayed different projects by Robbrecht en Daem architecten for the exhibition ´Pacing Through Architecture´.
