AKT #5

KT is an independent magazine about Belgian culture.

Though the magazine is a periodical, it aspires to be timeless. Each volume captures the people, design and essence of 21st century Belgium through stories that are worthy of continued and repeated reflection.

Photography guides readers into the world of AKT. The minimal style draws focus to the depths of materiality and dimensions of colour. It asks readers to pause longer and look closer. Each frame is studied and deliberate – captured, it seems, with the patience of a painter who works slowly on his masterpiece for months.

Combining photography, with words and graphic design, AKT reaches an authentic and ‘site-specific’ aesthetic that draws off the flat, rolling landscape and northern European climate of Belgium itself. It is an aesthetic that is hedonistic and atmospheric in its ability to reach all of the senses and transport the reader.

Issue 5

AKT V joins a group of creatives who dance to their own tune. Whilst documenting their individual journeys, this fifth issue of the magazine gathers the momentum of an intuitive, collective human spirit.
