I'd like to invite you all to the Salvator house.
This centuries old (and slightly derelict) historical mansion in the city center of Antwerp is the perfect place to let you experience my latest discoveries.
After 3 years of intensive shooting, having travelled to New Jersey and Detroit, Northern France, former Eastern Germany and Belgium, I'm ready to show my new work.
The exhibition shows 40 large format photos, printed on metal dibond plates. No frames, no glass, just plain metal and ink.
They're big, modern and ... WOW
Not yet in the book stores, but available here : the new book "abandoned places 2". (roughly A4+ size, 192 pages, 30 euros)
It covers last 3 years' reports with many stories and photos. If I'm present I'd be happy to sign it.
T H E . . . P L A C E - T O - B E
The Salvator house will be open every Thursday till Sunday from 14h till 20h, starting Sept.10 until Oct.7th 2010.
Ambtmanstraat 3, 2000 Antwerp (just North of the city center, within walking distance)
Entry fee is 4 euros (< 16 years for free). We need your support !

In the year 2506, archaeologists made an amazing discovery in the eastern peninsula of Yucatan. |
To all visitors of my website : thank you !
Are you visiting this website for the first time, maybe just by accident ? Or are you returning after an earlier visit ?
Some of you bought the book or a photograph, most just visited, sometimes leaving a message.
That's what keeps me going.
Wishing you a great 2010 !

It's been quiet around the abandoned places website for a couple of months now. The exhibitions and the publication of the book have taken a lot of my time. There is also the growing pressure to keep the beautiful buildings away from the internet to protect them from antique-robbing tourists. For Du Parc all help comes too late ... welcome to the playground of vandals and thieves. |
