As Long as The Sun Lasts shows a narrative built on fragments of ruins, nature, and human interventions. These elements pose as remnants of a cycle of repetitive history. While being a work of fiction, it references the Anthropocene, where the impact of our actions is shaping the Earth in lasting ways.
As Long As The Sun Lasts is a working title to be published by VOID and is building further on the use of gathering images that could fill their role in multiple narratives. While the work still clings to themes of repetitive history, dystopian scenarios, and literary fictions, the work is now also leaning into a more research/investigative manner of working with photography.
Blending these research themes with more poetic imagery blurs the lines between truth and fiction.

Joselito Verschaeve (Belgium, 1996) is a visual artist with a focus on photographic work and the photobook. His work leans on day-to-day encounters that turn narrative-driven. These narratives often revolve around themes of dystopia, repetitive history, and the Anthropocene.
Joselito recently started pursuing his Educational Master’s, which has also impacted his use and view of photography as a more research-based medium in addition to his more poetic depictions of the themes that he works in. His work has been featured in exhibitions across Belgium and has also appeared in notable online publications such as Phroom Magazine, The British Journal of Photography, PH, The Heavy Collective, Booooooom, and more. In 2022, Athens’ photobook publisher VOID produced his first photobook ‘If I Call Stones Blue It Is Because Blue Is the Precise Word’. Verschaeve is currently working with Void on a new project, set to be released by 2025.
