The outskirts of town .. ‘no man’s land’ – freedom to move around
How to create a nice tension in a static urban still life image .. Most of the image is kind of empty, the chair – our main subject – far in the upper part a bit in a corner. The more difference between the object and the rest (=negative) space the better it is till you go over the edge .. and you have nothing.
The texture of the concrete jetty, graffiti colors, greenblue-yellowish water .. the setting is amazing at the former NDSM ship yard now a location for creative people, loud music, parties and new developers who in the near future will make lot’s of money out of this.
At the end of the day we – the Paris contestants April 2024 – end up at Noorderlicht a culinary hangout and also a cultural oasis for those seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Located in the raw, industrial and artistic ambiance of this old yard.
