Myosotis, my photographic book about border in Belgium

[Mathieu Bauwens]

Hello all,

Let me introduce you to my new photographic project; a photographic exploration of my own country following an inner border that seperate two communities because of their langage.

"Belgium, during the summer of 2014, after a political party advocating the disappearance of the country came to power, I wondered about the physical reality of this line of separation, so I decided to go to the discovery of this border and looking for couples who live this language difference on a daily basis."

This photographic project tells my relation to the linguistical border in Belgium that seperates two linguistacal communities ; french et dutsch spoken people. I also realised this project just after my little girl was borns. I suppose it tells also something about what is to be a parent.

Any help well, helps... So you are warmly welcome to this fund raising campaign.

Although texts are in French and Dutsch, I think pictures tell things for themselve. If You think some translation is needed, we can find solutions.

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for your post: this is what I have been trying to say in the Who We Like thread.

The images have a concept behind, through and around them. How we emotionally relate / reject that idea lifts the images in my opinion.
