Hangar gave carte blanche to Stephan Vanfleteren to support a young talent and propose an exhibition to run alongside ATELIER. Stephan Vanfleteren’s choice fell on Nathan Mbouebe.

Nathan Mbouebe (BE, 1996) lives and works in Belgium.

«What remains in the story of my life once I strip away its key and «important» moments?
What is left is the everyday, the routine, the simplest and most familiar relationship one can have with the human experience. And although this is not what we initially focus on, ultimately, it is this simplicity of life that constitutes the primary narrative.»

This project is a visual journal, an attempt to transform these small moments into significant ones. It’s a story of presence, mindfulness, and the quiet poetry of life existing in familiar stories. The goal of this series is not only to create a personal record but also to invite others to reflect on their own daily lives. In a world that often prioritizes the extraordinary, this project is a gentle reminder that there is profound beauty to be found in the everyday.
