Under the title The Art of Seeing, Eindhoven-based photographer Hildegard Hick has brought together work by participants in her three-year photography course of the same name. 

Hildegard Hick is mainly concerned with documentary photography in which she finds her way through the observation of active people and urban life to the social documentation of her gaze. Her engagement requires personal commitment, involvement with the subject and an inter-human compassion. She seeks to capture the unexpected and focuses on making visible hidden or unusual elements in everyday situations. She sees it as a photographer's job, by bearing witness to what he or she sees, to allow others to refocus on what has been observed. The difference between viewing registration and actually seeing fascinates her.

During the classes, Hildegard Hick takes the history of photography based on pioneering photographers as her guideline. By empathising with their way of seeing, course participants learn to re- and acknowledge their own field of reference.
