Koen Broucke is a visual artist based in Belgium, who has been researching the representation of battlefields. A first stage of his PhD research into the battle of Waterloo was on display during the summer of 2015 in the Royal Library in Brussels. Broucke’s reconstruction of the history of Scapa Flow is multiform, intuitive and based on his practice as an artist. He studies sideways, coincidences and significant details. He is drawing and painting to understand complex historical events.
