“about loss, when everything turns white hot”
“What began as an observation of the voids between white buildings gradually shifts into an investigation of whiteness as a concept. White no longer manifests merely as form or surface, but as action: to protect, to conceal, to erase. In this advancing abstraction emerges the notion of whiteness as a boundary—a point at which intensity tips into loss. White heat. Just as the melting of the polar ice caps makes the disappearance of ice palpable, so here the boundary of whiteness becomes tangible: a transition from presence to absence, from concentration to dissolution. Just as the Earth, under increasing heat, vaporizes what once seemed solid, whiteness becomes a metaphor for a tipping point where preservation turns into disappearance.”
This recent project will be on show @ IMAGINAIR, Art/space, Provooststraat 99 Rue du Prévot, Elsene Ixelles

“SEASIDE RENDEZ-VOUS”
(working title)
30.08.2025 @ Nieuwpoort.be, part of the ongoing project :
As the Queen song suggests, this photographic project might seem to evoke the light-heartedness and playfulness of a coastline as we have always known it: familiar, warm, and almost carefree. But that is not the case. In these images, that world is suddenly empty, as if humanity has vanished from one day to the next. The familiar atmosphere is disrupted, and what was once cheerful and lively now appears fragile, at times oppressive, and almost surreal.
The photographs were taken in contemporary reality, but by removing any human presence and framing the landscape in a way that renders the familiar strange, a dreamlike experience emerges. These are imagined places that raise questions about what remains when the world we know suddenly no longer feels so familiar.
The result invites reflection: a moment of stillness in which the boundary between reality and imagination begins to blur. Here, the familiar and the unreal meet, offering a new perspective on the coastline as we think we know it — or as it might one day change.
Have we treated our environment too lightly?
