Ostend is called the City by the Sea for good reasons. The largest seaside resort on the Belgian coast hosts a tidal wave of cultural activities, such as ‘Theatre by the Sea’, the International Ostend Film Festival and first-class street artists come to Ostend every year during the Street Art Festival "The Crystal Ship”.

The images are displayed as large outdoor installations, with Soo’s work being near ‘Fort Napoleon’.

In 2021 the first edition of The Ostend International Photo Biennale was organized. Over 7 weeks, more than 30,000 visitors enjoyed 18 outdoor and indoor exhibitions with conceptual work by 28 art photographers.

Other exhibiting artists of the photo festival include Belgian photographers Mous Lamrabat, Karel Fonteyne & Frieke Janssens, the American Joel Peter Witkin and the Dutch artist Jenny Boot.
