Architecture
2011, digital, converted to black-white Roof terrace of De Singel, concert building in Antwerpen in 1980, a promenade on the roof terrace with surprising perspectives, emphasized by the wide viewing angle, shadows and emphasized contrast, architect Léon Stynen.
2011, analogue Interior of De Singel, concert building in Antwerpen 1980, transition to the topic of ´people´, the curious person gives an idea of scale in the rebuilt and extensive part for the music academy (2008), by Stéphane Beel, architect Léon Stynen.
2012, digital, converted to black-white A stairwell leading to the lockers of the former National Bank in Antwerp, empty, for sale, it was a chance to take photos of the empty offices, apartments, ticket windows, attic, cellar, lockers.
2008, digital A task for the office of urban planning that developed the ´device´ in the walkway, old renovated warehouses; there was nothing happening in the street itself – that is why I waited for the passer-by, laminated through the light.
2012, digital, converted to black-white Taken for a law firm, shot of the stairwell through the window, the visible buildings are reflections of those in the surroundings, people can get an idea of the scale. Pretty chaotic and laminated picture, in the contrast with the other ones where are no present people, architect Richard Rogers.
2012, digital, converted to black-white Taken for a law firm, I meant for the black and white to be used in these architecture shots as the outset, despite the technical quality – for bigger magnifications (60/90cm) I chose the digital medium, it is a terrace, a perfect symmetry, excluding the light and landscape, an exciting backlight creates depth and contrast, architect Richard Rogers.
2008, digital, converted to black-white The modernised metro station in Antwerp. The decorative glass panel with the figure of a man in hurry is naturally in composition with the clock in the background. The symbolism of a rush, to catch/miss a train is in contrast with the abandoned platfrom.
2012, analogue A staircase in 'De Bell', a popular modernistic building from 1958 in Antwerpen, architect Hugo Van Kuyck.
