  Reginald Van de Velde

Enormous brick built basins and water reservoirs were constructed underneath cities, some of them dating back as early as the 1800s. They served as overflow containers during heavy rainfall and river floods, to prevent the city from flooding.

Reginald Van de Velde (Belgium, 1975) scouts the unknown & unseen. As a wanderer of wastelands he journeys all over the world, trying to capture the momentum of splendour still undisturbed by the turmoil and temptations of modern society. He is a vagabond for lost beauty, a chronicler of forgotten magnificence.
