Not long after beginning to live and work in Germany, I became involved in a group exhibition for the city of Leuven - a small, affluent town located in the heart of Flemish-speaking Belgium. The exhibit had been organised through an institution I was attending at that time, and it was an exhibit with a very particular thematic. Each of the thirty-odd participants in this exhibition were asked to respond to the relationship during WWII between Nazi-occupied Belgium, the prison and transit camp in the neighbouring town of Breendonk, and the concentration camp Buchenwald in Weimar, Germany.
