]]> Oliver Leu’s zine Making Divine is based on a picture postcard from the early 20th century. Taken during festivities at the military barrack of Beverloo, this postcard depicts the re-enactment of a colonial monument during a historical play dedicated to Joseph Lippens and Henri De Bruyne, two military men who served in the Force Publique of king Leopold II’s Congo Free State during the 1890s.
In Making Divine the postcard’s motive is reproduced fragmented — shifting the reader’s attention from the apotheosis of the scene to individual actions — emphasizing details, gestures, and the body language of those enacting the De Bruyne – Lippens Monument. A monument that still stands in the Belgian seaside town of Blankenberge today.

]]> The name De Parel (The Pearl, La Perle, Die Perle, La Perla, Den Perlen, …), although indicating a precious possession, is a common name given to commercial businesses. Travelling around the Netherlands and Belgium, Liesbet Bussche photographed 28 businesses called De Parel. Her route is a necklace with pearls strung together via motorways. De Parel-ketting is a three meters long concertina, similar to the well-known souvenir for tourists; an accordion of postcards, a necklace of pearls.
