Sybren Vanoverberghe is a young Belgian photographer.
His website states: « His work functions as an analysis of the correlation between place and time and the ever recurring cycle of history. He searches for elements of myths, nature and heritage both within ordinary sites as in places of historical importance. By what process do we attach meaning to these locations?

He has published two books with APE / Art Paper Editions : "2099" in 2018 and "Conference of the Birds" in 2019.
