“I normally never photograph Brussels. Because of the light. I like it when the light blinds me and transfigures what I see, so I mainly work in the Mediterranean, in black and white. My studio is in Anderlecht, so to photograph Brussels, I made small, minimal trips around the studio. The four images in this series were an excuse to discover an area of the city that I don’t know well, an area of around 5 square kilometres. For the occasion, I also tried color photography.”
