WANDELEN IN BINNENLAND: PORTRET VAN DE FOTOGRAAF JULIEN COULOMMIER
Jan VrommanThe Belgian photographer Julien Coulommier doesn’t deal in the exotic, the eccentric, the technical performance; he penetrates the depth of banality, he is profoundly connected with his subjects.

Before the invention of the mechanic clock it was bell towers that created a shared public time...
A.M./P.M.
Herman AsselberghsThere is no visible human presence in ’a.m./p.m’. Photos of cosmopolitan city landscapes are systematically scanned along with display views of office blocks, flats, dark corners, illuminated windows and skyscrapers.
