Ballodromes

Ballodromes identifies and lists nearly 400 pelota courts and as many villages in Flanders and Wallonia. Long considered one of the most popular sports in Belgium, ball pelota has the particularity of having fields delimited by white lines painted on the ground on the village squares. Through the observant and methodical gaze of Andy Simon, the book Ballodromes testifies to the evolution of a territory and its uses, to the transformation of these squares where the social life of a village was previously embodied.
