Enfant, la main dans celle de son père, parcourt le Muséum d’Afrique Centrale.
A suivi les cours du photographe Hubert Grooteclaes, à Liège.
Avec Coco, voyages dès qu’ils le peuvent, pas à vélo, parfois en train.
N’en parlent pas, les histoires de voyage, ça barbe.
Pour ne pas avoir voulu y aller, se boit quelques rhums à la Havane.
4 novembre 1999, Salomé est là.
Un peu plus loin, poussé par Jean-Louis Godefroid sort le livre Odeurs d’Afrique, coédition Contretype /
La lettre volée.
Quelque part en Palestine, confronté à des réalités, se dit qu’il ne peut pas - ou plus - ne pas voir.
En intermittent de papa et de photographe, se perd du côté des Brûleurs, sur la piste qui relie le Niger au
nord du Maroc. - Brûleurs : nom donné aux personnes qui clandestinement veulent, de l’Afrique du nord,
rejoindre l’Europe. Un livre est publié aux éditions Yellow Now en 2006.
Attiré par la lumière,un jour de 2004, se tourne vers « Le Réverbère ».
Depuis 2006, arpente l’Éthiopie et le site de Lucy..
Et pour le reste on verra.
English
Born in Brussels (European capital, with its royal palace).
As a child, explores the Museum of Central Africa hand in hand with his father. Studies photography under Hubert Grooteclaes, in Liège.
With Coco, travels whenever he can, never by bike, sometimes by train.
Enough said, travel stories are always deadly dull. Knocks back a few rums in Havana (because he hadn't wanted to go there).
4th November 1999, Salomé arrives.
A little later, encouraged by Jean-Louis Godefroid, publishes Odeurs d’Afrique, co-edited by Contretype / La lettre volée.
Somewhere in Palestine, confronted with reality, decides he can no longer not see. Part-time daddy and part-time photographer, gets lost somewhere in Burners territory, on the track between Niger and the north of Morocco. - Burners : name given to people hoping to enter Europe illegally from North Africa. A book was published by Yellow Now in 2006.
One day in 2004, attracted by the light, turns towards "Le Réverbère".
Would gladly visit the Horn of Africa.
And for the rest, we'll have to wait and see.
