The photos are documentation of an ongoing attempt at conversation with the city outside my door, its inhabitants (human and non-human) and its weather. I leave messages, photograph them, then come back a while later and take a photo of the same place. Sometimes the messages are still where I left them weeks later; sometimes I go back a few hours later and find they have disappeared. The messages are in English, my first language, and Dutch, the main language of the city of Ghent (Belgium) where I live.
