Portraits of Abbekerk
Shot in collaboration with Nalani Knauss - 2020I had not considered to use the place that I grew up in for a project initially. Having moved out and lived in a city for some years I felt the desire to go back. What I found was a place had not changed, it was still the same as when I was a kid. During the making of the project I was constantly confronted with the only thing that had changed, which was me. I found it intriguing to notice this sense of timelessness during my interactions, which became my starting point for the project.
