Limburg / 1st Edition Hoge Kwaliteit

‘Limburg’ is a photo series by Lars Duchateau (BE) based on articles that appeared in the regional section of the newspaper ‘Het Belang van Limburg’: a rural region in the north-eastern part of Belgium. The articles have in common that they focus on often smaller and less relevant stories. As these news stories were not accompanied by an image or used simple stock photos, Duchateau decided to create new photos. Large, timeless, and serene – often produced weeks, months, or even a year later – contrast heavily with the concise texts, which are often more questioning than illuminating.
