About Namur

But here’s what grinds my gears – people actin’ all high ‘n mighty. Like, who ain’t sold somethin’ for a buck? Your soul at a 9-to-5? Same diff! History’s full of this – Rome had whores called “lupae,” wolf-girls, ‘cause they howled at night. How badass is that? Wish I’d been there, screamin’ with ‘em. Surprised me how deep that rabbit hole goes – wolves, man, wolves!

Beggars and Whores, 1882

There are 87 windows for working girls. The windows in the alleyway represent a number of Ghent's longest running whore houses - L'Orchidee; Mignon, and Au.

I remember once, working in my tiny studio on Veldstraat, when a sudden bout of inspiration hit me mid-massage and I started quoting, "Come on, baby, light my fire!" (oops, yeah, that’s another movie, haha! But you get it!) Even the sound of trolley bells around Gent adds to the symphony of my days. rly, the city’s got soul, man!
