Go Home
Three days after Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, I arrived in the country. During the first trip, I stayed for about two months. After that, I returned ten more times, each time for a period of approximately two weeks. For the vast majority of the time, I worked in the eastern part of the country. I always tried to get as close to the front as possible.
In total, I have now selected around 100 images from all these trips. The subjects of the images range from the living conditions of civilians in the war zones to the situation of soldiers on the front lines.
All of these images have been published in the Belgian newspaper De Standaard, each accompanied by a short text written by me. For the newspaper, I also created short videos of about three minutes, which were published on their website. (During the first two weeks I was commissioned for the newspaper De Standaard. After that I always went on my own initiative and sold the images with text to De Standaard as a freelancer.)
To date, no book has been made from these images. However, in September 2023, I took the initiative to create a zine with a limited print run of 70 copies. In the zine, I edited the images in chronological order.
