BELGICUM — Stephan Vanfleteren (First edition, 2016)

A book about a letter that becomes a monument. Vanfleteren photographs the worn “B” plates once fixed to Belgian houses — mute witnesses to collaboration during WWII. Each image feels like a forensic record: rust, cracks, weather, silence. What remains is not history explained, but history embedded in surfaces. The typography becomes a scar. The wall becomes a memory. This is not documentary photography; it’s archaeology of guilt.
