Conversation Two
W: Mr. De Keyzer, I am a great lover of your book, Moments Before the
Flood. Can you tell us how you first became interested in the subject
matter?
M: In 2016, when the concert hall of the city of Bruges asked me to take
some pictures for a catalogue for a new concert season around the theme of
water, I found myself working along the Belgian coastline. As there had been
numerous alarming articles in the press about a climate catastrophe waiting to
happen, I started looking at the sea and the beach very differently, a place
where I spent so many perfect days as a child. This fear of a looming danger
became the subject of a large-scale photo project.
W: you wrote in the book: “I don't want to photograph the disaster, I want
to photograph the disaster waiting to happen.” Can you talk a bit about
that?
M: It is clear now that it's a matter of time before the entire European
coastline disappears under water. The same goes for numerous big cities around
the world. My idea was to photograph this beautiful and very unique coastline
reaching history, before it’s too late—as a last witnesses.
W: Can you talk a bit about how history plays a role in this project?
M: Sure. The project is also about the history of Europe looking at the sea
and wondering when the next enemy would appear. In the images, you see all kinds
of possible defense constructions to hold back the Romans, Germans, Vikings, and
now nature as enemy number one. For example, there is the image of the bridge
into the sea taken at the Normandy D-Day landing site. Also Venice, the city
eternally threatened by the sea, where every morning wooden pathways have to be
set up to allow tourists to reach the hotels.
W: Thank you, Mr. De Keyzer. It was a pleasure to have you with us
today.
