Exploring the Official Press Rooms of the EU again

Sander began this photo journey into the intricate and multifaceted world of the EU by capturing the often overlooked pressrooms of European Council members while patiently awaiting the unfolding of significant political events.

These rooms, which are frequently characterized by their sterile and utilitarian design, typically experience a notable surge of activity only at the conclusion of lengthy meetings that can stretch on for anywhere from two to three intense and demanding days filled with complex negotiations and insightful discussions. During these crucial moments, each head of state seizes a valuable opportunity to address the gathered press in their designated press room, sharing not only insightful perspectives but also important updates that can influence public opinion and policy. Smaller nations often tend to display a simple yet effective banner in the background, a humble nod to their presence on this grand political stage.
