Doel, Belgium, a town known mostly for it’s proximity to nuclear reactors, has become a virtual ghost town. Fortunately, radiation didn’t figure into Doel’s fate.  The townspeople of Doel were forced to move in order to accommodate the expansion of Antwerp harbor. Other than a handful of diehard citizens, a few businesses, and squatters, the town is uninhabited and will soon be demolished. In the meantime, Doel has become a huge canvas for artists. Cesare Santorini made this short film documenting the incredible and ephemeral street art of Doel.

I wish Santorini’s choice of music in this video had been better. You may want to turn down the volume.

I was exited to hear the jazz music in the introduction and then disappointed when that other music took over. So I just turned down the Vimeo player audio and put this on in the background instead.

Both the song and the video are around the same length so it works out wonderfully!

Music for Vimeo videos is often bad, some reason.
