Jim De Block

Jim De Block is a Belgian-Swedish visual and performance artist based in Gothenburg. His practice moves through dance, choreography, image making, and media, not as separate disciplines but as different ways of asking the same questions about the body, space, and time.

He has performed with companies across Europe, including Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, the Norwegian National Ballet, and Göteborgs Danskompani. Years spent working inside performance have shaped how he sees and how he shoots. The camera work and the choreographic work come from the same place. A long practice inside performance develops a specific kind of attention, to what the body communicates without trying to, to how composition in time and space carries meaning. That knowledge sits underneath everything he makes.

His photographic work spans press and production photography for dance companies, poster commissions, and fine art series. He has had three solo exhibitions: Neither Here Nor There at Leth Gori in Copenhagen as part of the Copenhagen Architecture Festival, Neither Here Nor There at Rivercity Gallery, and Vestiges at NK Gallery. His work has been published in several magazines. He is co-founder of the Odd in a Knot collective and a guest lecturer at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.
