Joselito Verschaeve explores the power of visual storytelling. He working primarily with black-and-white photography that allows him to hide certain features of time; making photographs from different places feel coherent. Sequencing is essential to Verschaeve’s practice. He approaches photography like an archivist, taking many photographs to build an extensive collection, from whch he selects and arranges images in sequences, creating a flowing narrative similar to writing a poem or a novel. The arrangement of seemingly unrelated images together creates an open-ended dialogue, allowing viewers to interpret the narrative in their own way. This method, based on sequence and repetition, reflects Verschaeve’s understanding of the photobook format as a dynamic storytelling medium.

Verschaeve ‘s images emphasise that photography is more than capturing single moments; it is about creating connections, sparking conversations, and inviting viewers into a shared experience of visual narrative. The essence of his practice remains grounded in the belief that storytelling—through the archive, sequence, and narrative—is at the core of his art.
