On-the-go Photography
The collection revolves around locations in Belgium and explores a diverse range of scenes that include streets, landscapes, architecture, and nature.
The monochromatic scenes document sightings of peculiar real-life environments and preserve the visual memories of a human wanderer, exiled away from homeland, on an intuitive quest propelled by regular walks.
These photographs were captured during walks through the streets and alleyways of Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels, regions within Belgium. The photographic process took place over six years, 2017-2018 and 2021-2022, with a gap of three years between the time intervals.
Traveling on foot became essential after the outbreak of a global pandemic in 2020. Therefore, the artist resumed his leisure activity and morphed it into a therapeutic mobile project.
A minimalist technical plan was adopted to reduce the lingering fear of losing electronic tools (stolen, hacked, or malfunctioning) and to fuel a digital quest progressing at the rhythm of frequent and abrupt moves around a terrestrial territory seen as a land of adoption and refuge.
