At C12, an electro nightclub located in the heart of Brussels, photos and videos taken by smartphones are no longer allowed.
The measure, which came into force on Friday, aims to preserve the authenticity of the place. “We see our club as a private and unspoiled place, which belongs to everyone and where everyone is free to behave, dance and dress as they wish.“, justifies the management on its social networks.
According to officials, the lens of a camera on a smartphone can “become an obstacle to creating that atmosphere, whether for the photographer or their subject. We would like to see each evening as an experience lived together and in real time, rather than bringing the outside world into the club”.
Thus, since Friday, stickers are distributed at the entrance of the box, which visitors must affix to the camera of their smartphone.
Alain Maron accuses Philippe Close of “denial of democracy” in the Fuse case: “What he said is nonsense. We are not in the Far West”
Nevertheless, the memories of the “clubbers” will always be immortalized by a C12 photographer. “His photos are in total adequacy with the DNA of the box and will continue to respect the privacy of the dancers”.
“We thank you for your understanding and your collaboration to improve our disco.“, concludes the management on Instagram.
