exhibition in Emmerich

In the following weeks I will participate at the Annual Exhibition in Emmerich am Rhein (Germany) together with 17 other artists. I will show here three works of the series "gevonden gedicht" (found poem) and the accompanying book.
This exhibition runs from 4 December 2011 until 8 January 2012 and will be opened on 4 December 12.00

the poem

Last week I finished my book "gevonden gedicht" (found poem). The houses in this book I photographed just before they were demolished. Because they were boarded up you only could look inside through little holes. This made them mysterious and therefore I was curious.
When I could go inside at last, I discovered that there was nearly nothing left in the houses. But after a while I opened a door of a little room and found a remaining poem...

trees in the dark (8)


just happened to be there

self portrait September 2010
Last week I've been reading 'Op slot' (Locked) of the Dutch writer J.Bernlef which is about the friendship between a painter and a photographer. 
This novel contains beautiful phrases about painting and photographing and the making of a portrait. Like some photographers that I know and that includes me, the photographer in this book tends to speak about photography as if it were nothing. If anyone makes him a compliment considering his work he says: 'Well, I just happened to be there.'
By reading this book I remembered this photograph which I made more then a year ago. And I thought it may be time to post it here.
