Set in the heart of the&nbsp;<strong>Galerie de la Reine<\/strong>, as part of&nbsp;<strong>Panorama: Cin\u00e9ma Ib\u00e9rique 2026<\/strong>, Faceless feels like a perfectly placed mirror for a Pride season built on visibility, ambiguity and desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"two-series-one-question-what-do-we-show-what-do-we\">Two series, one question: what do we show, what do we hide?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faceless brings together&nbsp;<strong>two distinct series of faceless oil portraits<\/strong>:&nbsp;<strong>FacelessD<\/strong>&nbsp;et&nbsp;<strong>FacelessD.M<\/strong>. Both revolve around bodies and images without faces, but they occupy opposite ends of the spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sur&nbsp;<strong>FacelessD<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 the&nbsp;<strong>\u201cD\u201d stands for desire<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Diartinez taps into the flood of viral self\u2011portraits posted by strangers online: mostly men, mostly posing, bodies on display while faces are strategically cropped out or hidden. Painted on&nbsp;<strong>unfolded tea bag paper<\/strong>, these figures become both fragile and over\u2011determined: delicate surfaces carrying a globalised iconography of male homoerotic desire. A sneaker, a backpack, a hand, a fold of skin \u2013 each painting breaks the body down into recurring attributes, the visual clich\u00e9s through which masculinity is eroticised and standardised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FacelessD.M<\/strong>&nbsp;(for&nbsp;<strong>direct message<\/strong>) shifts into a more intimate, unsettling register. Here, the artist works from&nbsp;<strong>real exchanges<\/strong>&nbsp;with people in his life: friends, family, flatmates, partners, occasional encounters. Each piece is a&nbsp;<strong>small wooden box built as a diptych<\/strong>. On the outside, a single eye stands in for the contact\u2019s avatar; on the inside, a tiny oil portrait painted from a self\u2011image that person shared, paired with a fragment of one of their messages. Births and deaths, illness and joy, stupid jokes and confessions \u2013 they all end up sharing the same cramped space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors can choose which boxes to open. For a moment, you become a&nbsp;<strong>reader, a voyeur, a confidant<\/strong>. The gesture is simple \u2013 lifting a lid \u2013 but it echoes something we do all day: tapping open conversations, entering other people\u2019s intimacies, then closing them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115710.jpg 498w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115710-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"from-viral-thirst-traps-to-private-dms\">From viral thirst traps to private DMs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes Faceless particularly sharp for a queer audience is the way it&nbsp;<strong>connects the public and private sides of desire<\/strong>. On one wall, you have bodies that flood blogs and social media, anonymous and interchangeable, faces erased but bodies hyper\u2011visible. On another, you have the same logic of self\u2011exposure, but in the enclosed space of messaging apps, where a shared selfie becomes part of a thread that moves between small talk and vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By painting these images, Diartinez slows them down. The&nbsp;<strong>viral speed of screenshots and swipes<\/strong>&nbsp;is replaced by the time of brushstrokes and drying oil. The works ask: how much of our identity is built in these exchanges? What remains of us when the face is removed, when only an eye, a shoe or a sentence stands in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone who has ever sent a risky picture, stared too long at a torso with no head, or felt both exposed and invisible online, Faceless will feel uncomfortably familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115614.jpg 493w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-13-115614-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pride-week-iberian-cinema-and-a-spanishbelgian-gaz\">Pride week, Iberian cinema and a Spanish\u2011Belgian gaze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faceless opens right in the middle of&nbsp;<strong>Brussels Pride Week<\/strong>, when the city is already buzzing with rainbow flags, marches and queer nightlife. While the streets outside fill with bodies claiming visibility, the exhibition offers a quieter, more introspective angle on what it means to be seen \u2013 and on how queer desire circulates far beyond physical spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The show is presented within&nbsp;<strong>Panorama: Cin\u00e9ma Ib\u00e9rique 2026<\/strong>, a Spanish and Portuguese film focus hosted by&nbsp;<strong>Cinema Galeries<\/strong>. It is&nbsp;<strong>organised by Cinema Galeries<\/strong>&nbsp;and supported by the&nbsp;<strong>Embassy of Spain in Belgium<\/strong>&nbsp;et&nbsp;<strong>SPAIN arts &amp; culture<\/strong>, connecting Diartinez\u2019s work to a broader conversation about contemporary Iberian creation and its echoes in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a reminder that Pride in the capital is not only about parades and parties; it also lives in exhibition halls, cinema screens and the small, oil\u2011painted boxes where other people\u2019s messages quietly wait to be opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"practical-info\">Practical info<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Presented by:<\/strong>\u00a0Cinema Galeries, Embassy of Spain in Belgium, SPAIN arts &amp; culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhibition:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Faceless<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Pablo Diartinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>O\u00f9 ?<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Cinema Galeries<\/strong>, Galerie de la Reine 26, 1000 Brussels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vernissage:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Thursday 14 May 2026, 19:45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dates:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>14 May \u2192 28 June 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opening hours:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Daily, 12:00 \u2192 21:00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Admission:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Free<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Within:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Panorama: Cin\u00e9ma Ib\u00e9rique 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>KET Magazine is a community\u2011driven, non\u2011profit magazine run by volunteers based in Brussels.
