Niels Donckers takes a diagnostic approach to his subject, registering it in a neutral and rational manner. His slow and patient approach to his composition – requiring him to return up several times to a specific location to get the shots he wants - points to the artist’s empathy for his subject. He never makes studio work. Also for the exhibited photo HL76 Donckers traveled several times to Luxemburg to see his subject in different periods of the year.
