‘It didn’t take me long to realize the escape, once again, wouldn't work’
by Dieter De Lathauwer, published by Void.
This work is simple in its elaboration: made in one afternoon on an island with a turbulent history. It follows a clear and linear course in which the misty afternoon slowly slips into the darkness.
It didn’t take me long to realize the escape, once again, wouldn't work
'It didn’t take me long to realize the escape once again wouldn’t work' by Dieter De Lathauwer became a reflection on place and walking as a solution for inner problems. It was a failed attempt to escape. Started as a known approach to the landscape. Ended with the landscape turning out to be an obstacle. This intimate and poetic book is about accepting failure and weakness, and turning it into something new.

Dieter De Lathauwer graduated in 2005 from the Academy of Art Photography in Ghent after his master as a construction engineer. He has had several solo and group exhibitions, mostly in Belgium but also in the UK, France, Poland and in Japan. His images are often silent and deprived of human figures, with a lot of attention to composition. He loves to play with the ambiguity of a photograph.
