Imagine, you will be closing your hotel, but only temporarily, for a couple of months or so, in function of a thorough renovation. To discover several years later that your hotel never re-opened at all.

Standpunten is a quarterly forum organized by the ’centrum voor beeldexpressie’ at which three photographers get the opportunity to present their work. This event will take place on Friday December 9, at 20:00h in GC De Bosuil, Witherendreef 1, Overijse.

In this edition I will be talking about my series “theme park”.

Welcome.

Echolilia

wernerengelen — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 22:38:57 +0000

Timothy Archibald is one of the most versatile and daring photographers I know. In 2005 he published his book ‘sex machines’, on which you can find a very interesting interview at the Conscientious blog.

A while back he published a new book, Echolilia, concerning his relationship with his son Elijah, who has autism spectrum disorder. The book shows the bridges father and son have built on their shared journey of wonder, discovery and understanding.

In November 2011, National Geographic published their story.

Deeply moved.

Little town night life 3

You got a fast car. But is it fast enough so we can fly away. We gotta make a decision. We leave tonight or live and die this way.

Little town night life 2

In June 2010 we had national elections in Belgium, which is more than 500 days ago.

In the same amount of time, under the right circumstances, a rocket could easily reach the planet Mars and, if technically possible, it could even return back to mother earth. In this amount of time, the entire Belgian population got about 14.000 centuries older. 500 days and still counting …

Maybe it is time for a solitude lion after all?
