Not long ago a big historical Dutch retailer called V&D died an agonising slow death. It is one of many retail chains that were under siege by whatever modern times required staying vital. With the withdrawal of V&D in Zwolle where I live, a new player from Canada signed up for this huge warehouse location. No expense spared. The entire building got a facelift and this warehouse, popular as it is all over the world, would make the difference. It opened its doors in 2016 and closed her doors in 2018, a retail tragedy. The whole story is even more disturbing. Now, a lifeless huge ruin of commerce is all that is left. Spring 2020, I was invited for an exhibition called PROTO, an exhibition against the backdrop of this empty shell. For this exhibition we used only ground level. I started wandering through the building and it felt quite adventurous. I took some snapshots of this modern wasteland. We witness yet another victim of our desired but despicable ruthless neo liberalism philosophy. Resulting in this photo with this great and in this case rather ironic slogan on the wall “ There is Almost Nothing New Shoes Can’t Fix”.

Don't Shoot The Messenger. Digital Artprint- Zelfportret
Photography is at the base of many of my artistic expressions. The camera is my constant and daily travel companion. I capture everything that stands out by beauty or ugliness , simplicity or complexity, semi mundanity or exceptionality and absurdity. Most photos disappear is my archive or form a basis for a later work of art. Some photos stand on their own and others I have manipulated.
Fotografie staat aan basis van veel van mijn kunstuitingen. De camera is mijn vaste en dagelijkse reisgenoot. Ik leg alles vast wat opvalt door schoonheid of lelijkheid , eenvoud of complexiteit, semi alledaagsheid of uitzonderlijkheid en absurditeit. De meeste foto’s verdwijnen is mijn archief of vormen een basis voor een later kunstwerk. Een aantal foto’s staan op zich zelf en anderen heb ik gemanipuleerd.
