The sun is too high for that. The image refers to both Hollywood action movies, where unbridled violence set the world on fire, and the impact of major fires just outside of Los Angeles, which literally branded the landscape. Van den Broek, who was coincidentally in L.A. when the natural disaster occurred, decided to ignore all safety precautions and drove a Lincoln Continental convertible to the advancing line of fire, where he managed to photograph unique, apocalyptic scenes. The searing heat threw up sand and dust like a smokescreen. It seemed nothing less than a dramatic battlefield. Looking for the link with the legendary ballet \u003ci\u003eSpartacus\u003c/i\u003e by Yuri Grigorovich, we soon find out that the uncontrollable nature of the fires symbolizes the lost battle of the gladiators.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe sereniteit die uitgaat van dit werk draait de vluchtige toeschouwer een rad voor de ogen: dit is geen zonsondergang.

Van den Broek, die toevallig in L.A. verbleef toen de natuurramp plaatsvond, reed tegen de richtlijnen in met een Lincoln Continental-convertible de oprukkende vuurlijn tegemoet en fotografeerde unieke, apocalyptische taferelen. Door de schroeiende hitte wierpen zand en stof zich op als een rookgordijn. Het lijkt niets minder dan een dramatisch battlefield. Op zoek naar het verband met het legendarische ballet Spartacus van Joeri Grigorovitsj, komen we er al snel achter dat het oncontroleerbare van de brandhaarden het verloren gevecht van de gladiator symboliseert.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa s\u0026eacute;r\u0026eacute;nit\u0026eacute; qui sort de cette \u0026oelig;uvre trompe le spectateur superficiel\u0026nbsp;: ceci n\u0026rsquo;est pas un coucher de soleil.
