Belgian-born photographer Wouter Deruytter’s first book BRUSSEL…? is an intimate view into a world of difference and tolerance. (Drag-) Queens of the night welcome the photographer and his camera, obviously recognizing his honest intentions. There are echoes here of Christer Strömholm’s publication Vännerna från Place Blanche (Friends from Place Blanche) (1983). (Andreas H. Bitesnich)
