Photographs from 2017 tell about the evolution of a canal in Ghent, Belgium. Abandoned in 1960 the canal had to give way for a public parking area. In the early 2000s a bridge was built on the threshold of land (since 1960) and what was left from the canal.
A bridge - an indication of a (water) flow.
Finally, in 2016 the city of Ghent commissioned to re-create the former canal.
My analog photographs document the transformation. They are set in relation to various found archive pictures.
