These are all people I met during long evenings beating the streets of New York. These individuals were clearly on the margins, more ore less out there.

A somehow extreme version of Here Away.

When fellow member of Group 289, Nele Van Doninck, showed me her color photographs from Brussel’s street carnival, le Carnaval Sauvage, we immediately agreed on a duo exhibition based on contrasts: analog color vs true digital black and white. No faces vs face portraits. Dynamism vs suspended time.

Sauvage // Carnaval was held in Brussels in September 2026.

Nele's photographs depict individuals that choose to go out of character and act foolish for one day. They grant themselves that permission. My individuals are those whom society might once have called fools. They don’t ask permission to be who they are, but neither can they step out of character.
