THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
Jan Locus'The Distance Between Us' takes its starting point in some audio cassettes artist and photographer Jan Locus received from a Moroccan family in Molenbeek a few years ago.

COFFEE
Hans Op de BeeckThe fixed camera on table-height shows a couple as through a window: immobile and seated on opposite sides of a table behind a cup of coffee.
