The artist studied photography and film at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent from 1977 until 1981.

[2] In addition to his photographic body of work, Braeckman creates site specific installations, for varying projects such as Beaufort in Ostend or Watou's art and poetry festival.

Recently a permanent installation of a monumental photowork (of which a facsimile is now presented at Robert Miller's Gallery) has been inaugurated at the new Concert Hall of Bruges [nl].

Most recently in the Photo Art book, published by Dumont, Thames & Hudson and Aperture.

The abbreviation in the title stands for the German expression zur Zeit, which means "for now", "at this very moment".
