Allan Sekula is strongly influenced by the specifically American tradition of socially engaged photography. The film "The Forgotten Space" incorporates a strong local colour: as part of its ongoing investigation of the representation of labor in and outside the social-realist tradition Sekula takes the sculptural work of Belgian artist Constantin Meunier as a starting point while the film begins and ends in Doel (a small port town near Antwerp).
