Rein and Bram are leaving for Bangkok next week, so it’s the last days for the Porsche. We visited them in Antwerp and left the city for one last ride in the car.

Doel is the most recent village on which the Antwerp port authority has set its sights, having condemned and razed several others since the ‘60s in order to make way for harbor expansion. Their churches are the only buildings of the towns that remain, sitting among containers waiting to be loaded.

Doel is the last one standing, and its fate is uncertain. The government began forcing people out in the early ‘90s, but now two decades later still doesn’t commit to a final date.

In the meantime, the houses are boarded and painted with graffiti, but a brand new cafe has opened. The nuclear power plant may soon be decommissioned, but the farmer next door fights to hold on to his fields.

It’s spent twenty years frozen in transition.
