Villa Hout

About this location

At Villa Hout in Vlaams Brabant, Belgium, a dark vintage car with round headlights, a chrome bumper and a corroded grille sits abandoned in dense woodland undergrowth, its peeling hood littered with fallen leaves while ivy and green plants creep around the front. Inside, a dark baby stroller rests in a dim tiled hallway strewn with leaves, twigs and debris, beside scuffed walls with faint graffiti, as an open door at the far end reveals bright sunlight, green foliage and a tree branch. The pub/café next door is burnt, leaving the car and stroller as the only two real points of interest here. The whole place feels still and neglected, with nature slowly overtaking what remains.
