ALL ANTWERP: “I have a few stuffed animals at home” (Antwerp)
Every weekday our reporter and photographer choose a casual passerby from the street for a nice conversation. Because everyone has a story. Especially in Antwerp. Today: Sofie Van den Audenaeren (40).
“If I wear dark clothes, I get to my feet from my colleagues. Then they think something is wrong. I usually wear many colors together. Everyone around me knows that. My clothes are often second-hand, but my entire interior is.”
“I have a passion for everything vintage, brocante, second-hand or whatever you want to call it. My hobby is scouring shops looking for special ones. My interior also looks very special, I always hear it said. I also like taxidermy so have a few stuffed animals here and there in the house as well. My best asset is an old rocking horse. And I also have a dog.”
“I’m on lunch break now. I work in an office in the center of Antwerp. Every afternoon I take a walk in the city. Sitting still in a refectory is not for me. I like the hustle and bustle of Antwerp. And after work I take the bike back home, to Lier. Then I am just as happy to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. The combination of the two works perfectly for me.”
