30. Campground B, 2009 Dutch family camping installations often become a copy of their situation at home.  Campgrounds occupied by typical Dutch families are not only a physical copy of home but a mental one as well. Today’s Germany is one of Holland’s most favorite holiday destinations. A typical ‘bungalow tent’, as it is called, […]

29. Automatic, 2007 Ants have found refuge under a yellow and blue scrubbing sponge. The water from the sponge has helped them survive the summer heat in the south of Tuscany, Italy. A woman’s leg on an antique book floats by in silent serenity. The delivery man in a yellow uniform, a bag in the […]

28. The Smoke Curtain, 2007 The title to this work is a literal translation of a Dutch phrase. The construction of this image places the viewer inside this multi-layered picture. The print to the left shows a fair amount of white and has barely been retouched. The image appears to be a framed window. Underneath, […]

27. In God We Trust, 2010-2012 A diner in southern Louisiana is flooded by late afternoon sunlight. It feels as if God is peeking in, giving the whole interior a golden glow. On the wall there is a collection of commemorative photographs of men and women who served their country in wars fought around the […]

26. Game Over, 2008 A prospective college student from the suburbs of New Jersey, which he always referred to as ‘the Junk Food Capital of the World’, broke his back in Florida when he was 17. He fell backwards from a second floor window – lucky to be alive. The accident meant a radical change […]

The site resonates the panorama that covers the whole diptych, in this instance overgrown by Spanish moss. […]

24. Hunted, 2009 Both panels feature a swimming pool; the one to the left sunk into a parking lot. A long-term parked pickup truck hangs above the street. The car looks like a cardboard cutout. An old army tent is wrapped around the truck as a second skin. It shows a medieval hunting scene of […]

23. Neighbors, 1997 The sweetest little boy looks up to his sister or friend sliding through the small window in the closed front door to open it from the inside. He’s impressed by the way she climbed up the brick wall, spreading her legs to secure herself. That he looks up her underpants goes unnoticed […]

22. Lucky Lotto, 2009 A brick wall fills the whole work. In the grid it also connects to the wall in the following diptych Neighbors, 1997. Walls can present a barrier that blocks further progress. This wall has a door built into it that is kept shut by a red cartoon-like arm. On the left […]

21. Milky Way, 2004   Preparation for life comes in many different forms in different times and is individually perceived. The artist’s son has built a house out of a double bed by putting blankets over the top of it. Somehow children can transform an unfamiliar place into their home in no time. Two young men, […]
