THE OPEN ROAD —
Into the Wild East explores the fracture lines of modern Europe
where progress turns sterile and freedom becomes digitized. Blending photography and text, Van Mook films a road movie on paper — thirty-three rides through a continent running on fumes. His prose is stripped to the bone, his gaze unflinching. No nostalgia. No faith in what comes next. Only motion, the last instinct left. About the slow collapse of meaning. A world in aspic, civilisation in reverse.
