could you feel the love?

awake but forever dreaming with nothing around me. no limits, no directions, no rules,.. just freedom. emotional weekend ahead: from a sweaty, intimate and real rave with one of my favourite artists @klangkuenstler at one of my favourite places in Germany @gotec_club to a new experience with @mathame_ at Ora Arena in Istanbul. I can not describe the gratitude towards them and their team to include this belgian guy with a passion to a massive production. 08/03 🇩🇪 @outworld_ofc x @gotec_club 09/03 🇹🇷 @mathame_ Istanbul is it Friday already?

Solomun at ADE through my eyes in #stopmotion photographs. back with the man himself tomorrow in Berlin at Wilhelm Studios.

4 ADE shows in 3 days.. 💆🏽‍♂️ gratitude to all promotors for their trust in having my work and artistic monochrome vision at their event. i’ve spent hours on the dancefloor and looking forward to spent more hours / days in edits.

awake but dreaming into new chapters.. beyond grateful and happy for my last summer’s new experience and journey as a nightlife photographer. 21 times together with the one and only @solomun at Pacha Ibiza. a new journey lies ahead where freedom and passion are the keys. an unfinnished dream where i continue to set new horizons in nightlife-documentation using my hearth, soul and signature stop-motion creations. first stop after Ibiza: Solomun By Day at Ziggo Dome.

undisturbed, through my eyes and from the darkness at the Church Festival. @adroitofficial x @glanzikultur x @bccoberlin

my fear to express or expose myself in life is real. social anxiety is one of the foundations of my work. it’s so much more then a call for attention or fame. im too affraid to show my admiration for Techno so im trying to show it through my creations. it’s my therapy and my key towards hapiness. track by the one and only @klangkuenstler images from @unrealgermany eternal gratitude for the coming month: 01/10 🇪🇸 Ibiza | Solomun +1 02/10 🇩🇪 Stuttgart | Wagenhallen 08/10 🇪🇸 Ibiza | Solomun +1 14/10 🇫🇷 Paris | Kilometre25 15/10 🇪🇸 Ibiza | Solomun +1 19/10 🇳🇱 Amsterdam | AFAS Live | Klangkuenstler All Night Long 20/10 🇳🇱 Amsterdam | R Label Group 21/10 🇳🇱 Amsterdam | Ziggo Dome, Solomun By Day 21/10 🇳🇱 Amsterdam | TBC 28/10 🇩🇪 Berlin | Solomun All Night Long 31/10 🇩🇪 Karlsruhe | Gotec

awake but slowly dreaming into new realities, free from everything. ‘freedom’ is one of the most important foundations of my ongoing dream as a photographer with love for music.

dreaming into a new chapter as a nightlife stop-motion photographer.. ever since i started in this fascinating world of techno-music (as just a photographer), i never expected to one day stand equally alongside some of my inspirations. i pushed so hard to distinguish myself among talented collegues using my perseverance, determination and creativity. i’m beyond delighted to announce my work’s collaboration to a new series of events by R Label Group.

a never-ending (visual) story and dream. still awake but forever dreaming as a photographer.

+2,5y ago at Vault Sessions in the mighty Warehouse Elementenstraat ⛓ @vault_sessions @warehouseelementenstraat @leonardogabiatti

awake but forever dreaming 🪐 what i feel, see and hear on the dancefloor is impossible for me to explain with words so i keep trying to show it through my work as a mid-rave photographer. i don’t stop improving my very personal style & (animated) presentation as it has to reflect my ever-changing audiovisual world of techno-music and its dark pleasures. i am so grateful for all the opportunities i have received & will receive (and ofcourse the many people i was lucky enough to meet) as they keep me creative, passionate, persevere and determined in showing and confirming my own mind the eternal love for techno & visual arts. on the dancefloor, i am always so immersed in the process of creation with a constant (maybe imaginary) smile on my face. i witness true happiness as a person and thus as a photographer. my (visual) story and dream will never end..

‘once upon a time in Kyiv’ #stopmotion stop-motion dedicated for and photographed in Ukraine. as a mid-rave photographer i want to contribute by raising funds with my ‘AV007’ - poster. All profits will be donated. can’t thank Ukrainian dancer @52xart enough for dancing like nobody is watching can’t congratulate Ukrainian producer @relyvemusic enough for creating this piece of musical art

sunday night mass at Elisabethen church in Basel ⛪️

raw stop-motions of a huge night in Madrid @blackworksclub full stop-motion film documenting this night coming soon!

no more silence.. 🇺🇦 friday the 4th and saturday the 11th of February, i visited both Moscow (Monasterio 🦅 ) and Kyiv (Laboratorium 🧪 ) to show my stop-motion skills as a mid-rave photographer. in only 2 consecutive weekends i’ve met people so kind, u can’t imagine.. people with a common goal: creating indescribable memories of a night filled with dark pleasures and freedom. i am proud to translate my support in a new poster sale (AV007) where i donate ALL profit to the good cause. LINK IN BIO. i stand with all people who never wanted to go through the known devastating situation and i virtually hug my Ukrainian (@_laboratorium_) and Russian friends (@monasteriomoscow) thank u @52xart for dancing like nobody is watching track id: Artificial Invasion - @relyvemusic

sequence seen at @vault_sessions last Friday, i’ve had one of my darkest experiences as a techno dancefloor photographer. among nightlife photographer’s biggest challenges are: darkness and lasers. I never use flash or other artificial light to NOT disturb the vibe & to reflect the night as i literally saw it. stop-motion film documenting this dark night filled with dark pleasures coming soon.

pleased to announce my return to Vault Sessions after more than 2 years! after my visit to Warehouse Elementenstraat in 2020, multiple stop-motions were created and were a huge part of the foundation of my ongoing perseverance during the past 2 years. looking very much forward to witness hapiness once more.

once upon a time at a warehouse in Kyiv for @_laboratorium_ 🧪 stop-motion film documenting this dark night filled with dark pleasures coming soon

What i’ve seen, heard and felt at @monasteriomoscow is beyond anyone’s imagination. For (only) 8 consecutive hours, i was so immersed in the process of creation with a constant (maybe imaginary) smile on my face. Last Friday, i witnessed true hapiness as a person en thus as a photographer.

“fine-print collection” (small size) coming soon! This photograph was made at Complex Maastricht just around the time i discovered this mesmerizing track a few years ago. No extreme hard sounds this time but a melodic masterpiece by Fideles. As an artist, i seek emotion in both music as photography. To blend this together in a stop-motion artwork, is beyond satisying. That’s how i try to set new horizons in nightlife-photography. track id: Heading North by @fideles_music dancer seen @complexmaastricht
