in respective order.

‘sunprints’ made in the shade of the mulberry tree,
grapevine and patio with hollyhocks and fragrant jasmine in the Eugeen Joorsstraat in Antwerp, in the summer of 2020 and 2021. Alternating between hammock and garden chair, feet under and on the table, I read de eerste keer dat ik mijn bed verloor by Colette. I reposition and light up the page. Squeeze the book, observe the shifting of the shadow and end up in the hammock in Cussangy where I got the idea to print this zomerboek. I read and walk through the garden with white pages, breathe slowly and count 8 minutes and 19 seconds, that is the time it takes for the sunlight to reach us and to expose the paper. Rinse with water and it turns blue.

This is the time of hydrangeas and unripe pears.
