De Luister van het Land

De Luister van het Land
Galerie 37 Spaarnestad invited me to make new work with material from the Spaarnestad Photo archive, one of the largest press archives in Europe (now part of the Dutch National Archive).
De Luister van het Land (2008) is a caleidoscopic collection of over 400 photographs from the archive. By means of a selection based on personal interests, fascinations and an obsession with the notion of ‘the diorama’, it interweaves impressions that suggest a (re-created) imaginative world with pictures on the process of creation, featuring my personal appearance.
