Walking loops in Marolles, Brussels
The daily flea market at Place du Jeu de Balle is magnificent chaos — furniture, records, tools, taxidermy, objects that defy categorization — spread across cobblestones in a neighborhood that Bruegel would recognize in spirit if not in detail. The glass elevator to the Palais de Justice looms above, connecting Marolles to the upper city with the subtlety of a social metaphor. The streets here are working-class in memory and increasingly creative in practice, with galleries and ateliers occupying spaces between traditional cafes.
