Armut gilt in der Forschung als wichtige Ursache für Einsamkeit. Mangelnde finanzielle Ressourcen führen zur sozialen Isolation. Plakativ formuliert: Pfandsammeln mag für Lebensmittel ausreichen, nicht jedoch für den gemeinsamen Besuch von Kino und Café.
Betroffene befinden sich in Teufelskreisen aus Stigmatisierungsformen. Sowohl Einsamkeit selbst, als auch Armut werden gesellschaftlich mit Scham besetzt. Wir beschäftigen uns ungerne damit, unser Blick flieht, wir möchten damit nicht konfrontiert werden. Folglich werden diese sozialen Probleme im Sozialen und Politischen verdrängt.
Doch Einsamkeit findet nicht im Verborgenen statt, sondern dort wo nicht hingesehen wird. Ein Foto läd dazu ein genau hinzusehen und sich mit dem abgelichteten Menschen zu beschäftigen. Fotographie kann entwürdigend inszenieren, doch Würde verlieren Menschen durch gesellschaftlich geschaffene Realitäten. Ich hoffe dieses Bild ist nicht entwürdigend, die Person unkenntlich genug.

Shot on:
• Sony a6000
• Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

Making the most of a rainy weekend. We did our walk, then moved the fun inside. Can you tell he’s motivated? 🦴👀

Rainy days = Studio days. 🏠✨

We are staying in Brussels and with the Olympus Trip 35...

Original title : An angel in Brussels

It's all in the details...

At the moment, I’m carrying the Olympus Trip 35 in my pockets again.
It’s a very pleasant little camera, and it had been quite a while since I last used it.
Usually I carry a half-frame camera with me, but during these dark grey days in Belgium I just don’t manage to fill those 72 frames quickly enough. This way, though, I get to dive back into my Trip 35 archive again!

We are staying in Brussels and with the Olympus Trip 35.

In Brussels, and in the arts…
There was a street art project, #Mapping
in our capital in which I was involved.
And as always, I was carrying an analogue camera with me.
The photo was later even used on the website of our world-famous poster designer, Amira Daoudi.

It's a picture out of the #WTC towers in #BXL ( also gone now )

And this is clearly a street photography image…
simply noticing a scene while walking and trying to capture it.
And no, I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately,
film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion.
