NIGHTLIFE
This project is as much an image of the Belgian landscape and its urbanization as it is an inventory of Belgian nightclubs. In the 80'-90's people came from allover Europe to Belgium to the nightclubs, Ten thousands of teenagers weekend after weekend seeking an escape from everyday annoyance with beats beats beats. The newspapers only were interested in drugs, violence, annoyance for the neighbours. Cherry moon, Illusion, Carat, Extreme, La rocca, Boccaccio, Fuse, Balmoral, Lagoa, and many others. The images in this book document the dancings, places where you can go clubbing only in weekends at night. They document the landscape and the urban integration, the building styles, the mystery
The artist visited over 100 clubs allover Belgium. 
This publication is a condensed version of 15 images.
