- | After very social holidays i dived straight into the advising role for Eisa's new work “Your highness”. We premiered in the International Summer Festival Hamburg end of August. | + | |

- | A week later i opened a photo exhibition in Geel. As you already know this exhibition was the final showing of the works made with and by people with autism. Out of 24 photos only 10 was photographed by my self ( mainly the documentation of the process) and all the rest captured by the participants during the several walks in the Nature park Zammelsbroek. By introducing analog multiple exposure photography it allowed the participants to create many intriguing and beautiful results. The opening was very emotional for the people involved but very well received by the public. | + | |
