"Té De Flores Silvestres" (IIKKI 025) came naturally as a one shot series on IIKKI with "For A Fleeting Moment" (IIKKI 024) focused exclusively on polaroid photo works and the various possibilities to explore this medium.

Michael Roemers, a child of the borders, was born in 1987 in the Belgian village of Plombières, studying sound at the Institute of Broadcasting Arts in 2008. He discovered the power of the image, and became passionate about photography. He began his photographic career following Belgian underground music bands as they toured Europe, capturing crazy moments on stage and backstage. Then, he decided to devote himself to a personal project, to capture his native Wallonie region, highlighting the richness and a part of these Belgian traditions region while exploring the themes of identity, memory and membership.
Since 2021, Michael Roemers has added a new string to his bow by running the Vice Versa podcast with his partner Sébastien Van Malleghem. This podcast explores the themes of photography, art and culture by giving voice to renowned

guests in these fields.

​

Té De Flores Silvestres is his first book.
