Death of Michel vanden Eeckhoudt (1947-2015)

Michel vanden Eeckhoudt presented the world as a set of jokes, gags, both in the working world and in the street. One child wears a mask. Another is seen in a burst of sunlight. And the owner of a dog on a leash seems pursued by a menacing shadow. But the smile they bring to one’s face—he had a keen eye that could anticipate situations and capture without flourish or effect. Michel immerse us in a world that cannot work. Better to smile, even if we’re still thinking about it deep down.
