A pulsar (short for pulsating radio star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing toward the Earth, much the way a lighthouse can only be seen when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer, and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission. Neutron stars are very dense, and have short, regular rotational periods.
Stefan Vanthuyne is an independent writer, lecturer and photographer.
He regularly writes about photography and photobooks for Belgian newspaper De Standaard. His articles and essays have also appeared in Knack Focus, Oogst, Extra and Trigger magazine (FOMU), 1000 Words and Aperture’s The Photobook Review, amongst others.
From 2017 until 2020 he was affiliated to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp as a researcher, where his topic was the contemporary photobook.
During that time, he was a member of the photography research group Thinking Tools and a member of the editorial board of Forum+, the peer-reviewed journal in research and arts. In 2017, as part of his research activities, he founded the Belgian Platform for Photobooks (BPPB) and in 2018 he organised the symposium The Individual, The Political and The Photobook.
For ‘The paradoxically perfect and utterly imperfect photobook’, his conversation with photographer and author Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa on the BPPB, he received the Writing Photography Award from the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie (DGPh).
As a photographer he has published a number of small books and zines.
