Julien de Cock van Cafe t’ Korkfen as the Onion farmer mascot. Streets of Aalst, BE. February 2023. 📍 I photographed in Aalst pre-pandemic and was delighted by the people I encountered. As last year’s event was also cancelled, I was left with so many questions of what potentially had changed in isolation (would 🍺 still flow?) and needed to investigate it for myself. I set up behind the Cafe de Kleine Beurs and was greeted by warmth, laughter, Jupiler, and many beautiful costumes. Julien appears every year as a solo man with a witty play on recent events.
