Artist statement on the series.

Rear Window

In urban planning, architects often pay great attention to the design of a building's front, while the rear is overlooked. 

Rear views of homes in older cities often evolve more organically, as neat layouts are disrupted by encroaching greenery. A balcony might host a large satellite dish while an adjacent landing serves as storage space. In Southeast Asia, air conditioning units form their own façade; in Northern Europe, a Christmas tree planted in a courtyard has grown into a massive obstacle. 

This series explores the backs of buildings in metropolises worldwide, revealing international differences and the resulting global chaos.

Found fauna

The municipality of Westland in the Netherlands is home to the highest concentration of greenhouses in the country. Between these structures reside a wide variety of animals. The contrast of glass-enclosed flora and open-air fauna provides a view to nature, who always finds her way.

Outline

In the 1950s and 1960s, an area now known as the province of Flevoland in the Netherlands was reclaimed from the IJsselmeer. A large dyke surrounds this polder, which lies five metres below water level. The dyke forms an elevated outline, protecting the land from flooding. This series portrays Flevoland and its essential form, showing how life, infrastructure and nature (e)merged after this part of the former Zuiderzee was reclaimed and new land came into being.

Going Elsewhere

Plenty of trees, endless sky, water in its many different forms, a few buildings, a cat and a drying rack. I followed my intuition while capturing these subjects; I followed it again while piecing together this selection into a whole. All taken at different times and different sites—going elsewhere, being anywhere.

Close, but not really

Almere Poort is the newest part of Almere, the fastest growing city in the Netherlands. Situated about 20 km from Amsterdam, Almere Poort will be home to around 25,000 people in the near future. This ongoing documentary series shows the development of the suburb since early 2008.
