A foggy morning in January 2025. Lou runs through the frozen fields with a gun. His homeland, Enumatil, lies quiet under the weight of deep winter. The air is still. A moment held in cold and silence.

Found a box of slides. Someone else's skies and landscapes. Thirty years old, maybe more. No names, no stories.
Projected slides on snow. Past meeting the present landscape.

This negative was found at Place du Jeu de Balle, Bruxelles - A photograph of a woman sitting in a chair, she holds a little baby.
I printed postcards with this image on it and sent it to random addresses in The Netherlands with the request to send it back after putting a small text underneath.

Work in progress:

I am currently delving into my parents' old family photographs.

“The Loupe”
Going through my fathers albums, I noticed I wanted to get closer and closer, wanting to step into the picture to see what my father looked like. To see how much of him I can find.
