Exhibition: ‘Improvisaties op Wind, Water, Wad’ at Museum Belvédère

My latest work is included in the exhibition ‘Improvisaties op wind, water, Wad’ at Museum Belvédère in Heerenveen. For this exhibition, I created new work, which can be seen as a continuation of the series Test of Time.

The movement of Sun and Water

My photographs capture the path that the sun draws in the sky and its reflection on the water. Sometimes, the line is interrupted, meaning that it was cloudy at that moment. During this process, I discovered my fascination with the cyclic movement of time and water. It’s an essential aspect of human existence and, at the same time, one of the greatest mysteries.

Long Exposure Times

The images were made with a pinhole camera and an exposure time of 8 to 48 hours. The landscape of the Wadden Sea is one that is constantly changing before your eyes, maybe by a certain incidence of light or the blowing of the wind.

The natural process of change and the continuation of time are clearly visible here.

Future Projects

This exhibition has inspired me to think about a larger project around this theme. Plans are slowly beginning to take shape, and I look forward to developing these ideas further.

Meanwhile, I am happy that my work is part of this great exhibition and:

My work is featured in the catalogue published alongside it.

Writer Eddie Marsman wrote an article about my work process in the April edition of Noorderbreedte. On a cold February morning, he joined me while I placed cameras.
