Anton Kusters, 38, Hasselt, Belgien, Fotograf
Gerade eben erst haben wir uns gefragt, was das für ein Mensch sein muss, der freiwillig für ein fotografisches Projekt zwei Jahre im Herzen einer der gnadenlosesten Verbrecherorganisationen der Welt, der Yakuza, verbringt. Tja, hier ist er. Anton Kusters ist 38, lebt und arbeitet im belgischen Hasselt und ist ganz auf Langzeit-Projekte spezialisiert. Wenn er sich nicht gerade mit gefährlichen Kriminellen herumtreibt, verdient er seine Brötchen als Grafikdesigner und Internetspezialist, führt seine eigene Webdesignagentur und geht nebenzu einer Tätigkeit als kreativer Berater für das BURN Magazin nach. Für uns stellt er sich den Fragen der REFlection und gibt Einblick in sein Leben und Schaffen.
