An iconic apartment building in Almere (my city of residence), designed by architect René van Zuuk. Working at my commission “Ritme in de Polder” [rhythm in the polder] I photographed the building as seen from the water. The building has a surface covered with aluminium plates placed with scale-like overlaps that together depict a wavy surface. I was excited being able to capture its reflection in the waves beneath. To make the composition more clear I took the liberty to remove the parking lot that is located beneath the building, just above the water surface.

This is a personal adaptation of Homerus Gardens in Almere-Poort. Seeing the triangular balconies sticking out of the blue façade, I got the association of waves in an ocean. The shifted perspective on several levels creates a restless impression, but the storm at the same time is kept under control by organizing it all within a grid. Original design by Olof Architects in Almere.
This work is part of the ongoing exhibition 'Ritme in de Polder' [Rhythm in the Polder]. It is a duo exhibition of Ger Dekkers and me at Kunstlinie and Station Almere Centre.
It will be shown until 9 April 2023.

This is my reimagined composition of a refugee shelter in Almere (NL). I loved playing with the rhythmic repetition of identical living units, each personalized by their inhabitants by window dressings and objects in front of the facade. I also kept in the little boy that was playing on the balcony (top left) in a matching orange t-shirt.
