Nostalgia
They say that just before you enter heaven you’ll see your life pass before your eyes. Usually imagined as a fast-forward flip book of sentimental still images: birth, parents, school, holiday, first girlfriend, first sex, job, wife, kids, etc. and all the little things in between, summating a totality of meagre existence in a split [...]

Baroque battlefield
Meter-high heads in baroque style, men with streaming locks and women with expressive faces, scattered around as fragments in space. They evoke associations of a battle having been fought between the gods and the titans, the remains of which have now become visible.

Supersized
The street where I live used to be quite a boring street until Florentijn Hofman decided to do something about that. He applied a layer of only 2 micron of blue paint onto one of the most unseen blocks of houses in my street and it became Rotterdam’s most photographed one. His redecorating made people [...]

Do you think you stand out from the crowd?
When I was in high school there was this group of kids whom I considered to be really cool and I desperately wanted to join this group. So I asked my parents for the same (expensive) sneakers they wore convinced that would do the trick. My mum then bought me the cheap fakes, which off [...]

Beach Animals
I mentioned it before but for those of you who are new here, I grew up near he beach. During the summer it is a crowded place with playing kids, ice cream and all other kinds of summer recreations. But off-season the beach is empty and that’s when I like it the most.

The Cosmopolitan Chicken
There is a little bakery near my house and behind the counter stands an iron basket filled with eggs. Every time I’m in this bakery I imagine how the shop owner, a big guy with big hands, is putting the eggs in the basket. It seems such an easy task but it’s not. He really has [...]
