Rotterdam Photo 2022 XL Edition
Rotterdam Photo 2022 XL Edition
The festival in an extra large edition is scheduled from May 18-22, 2022. The festival is part of Art Rotterdam Week. Rotterdam Photo is housed in sturdy containers in a beautiful, typical Rotterdam location: on Willemsplein, in front of the Spido departure point, at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge 'De Zwaan' with a view of the Kop van Zuid.
"Is it worth it, or is it pure vanity to want to preserve our creations for eternity?"
I took this question from the call, with the Planet Human theme as the starting point for my contribution. My current
project Preserved with recreations of flower still lifes from bygone times, made with artificial flowers from the thrift store, fits in beautifully. This project started when I brought some stuff to my local thrift store. My eye fell on an artificial flower in a vase. And suddenly I realized that this artificial flower is some kind of weak, desperate attempt by man to 'preserve' the best that nature has to offer by encasing it in plastic, fabric and steel wire.
During Rotterdam Photo I will show 14 flower still lifes - including many new ones - in my 'own' 20ft container. You are welcome to come and see it!
I will be present as much as possible during the opening hours of the festival. The opening is on Wednesday 18 May from 7.30 pm to 9 pm. Should I not be in my exhibition container or would you like to coordinate in advance to be sure whether I will be present at a certain time? Then call me on
06-43269307.
