No. 9 — In this stark yet deeply textured black-and-white image, Olivier Ceulemans captures the rugged poetry of the old port of Antwerp. A forgotten crane looms over the cobblestones like a rusted guardian of time, its metallic ribs casting shadows that echo the fading industrial glory. Bicycles, ladders, flower installations, and chaotic signage hint at a vibrant counterculture reclaiming space—where steel, creativity, and memory converge.

The photo balances stillness with unrest. Under a dramatic sky, the past feels very much alive—not as nostalgia, but as layered presence. The photograph speaks of transformation: an obsolete structure turned into a playground of urban expression. It’s an homage to Antwerp’s raw edge and a love letter to the soul of repurposed places.
