Joselito Verschaeve

As Long as the Sun Lasts follows Joselito Verschaeve’s characteristic working process: building an ever-growing archive of photographs from daily encounters, sketching ideas, and drawing from this pool of images to shape a new story. The work shows a narrative built on fragments of ruins, nature, and human intervention. While being a work of fiction, the project still references the Anthropocene, in which the impact of our actions is shaping the Earth in lasting ways.

In this project, Verschaeve gathers images to create a narrative of a world on the verge of ending—a tender, melancholic reflection on creation, fragility, and persistence in uncertain times.

The title tries to capture that duality, both its darker, dystopian side and its underlying sense of possibility and hopefulness. The title can be read very optimistically: to keep creating as long as time allows it. But at the same time, it carries a dystopian undertone—that things could end at any given time.
