Ephemeral Library
Ephemeral Library is a series of photoworks focusing on the temporary nature of an incidentally developing ‘library’. Pictures of a collection of books, newspapers, magazines, advertising leaflets, handwritten letters, notes etcetera, together make up the images of the photoworks. In fact the ‘library’ merely exists at the moment the photograph is taken. The temporary and chaotic nature of the body of this tangible profusion of information makes it difficult to be deciphered or read. It seems as if it loses its initial meaning. The paper, with on the one hand the materiality of its sculptural character and on the other the immateriality of its content, plays a part in the work. Opposites such as individual/collective and anonymous/personal and the paradox of ‘beauty and poverty’ also play a part in the work. Several photoworks in the series refer to archetypal shapes such as the column/obelisk and the pyramid/mastaba.The photoworks furthermore emphasize the perishable nature of the complete overproduction of ‘sense and nonsense’ on paper.

The starting point for the series Into the Void is the concept of ‘voidness’ in the literal sense, as well as in the capacity of mental space perception. Thinking of vacuity, one is confronted with nothingness and the absence of the thing, the invisible and the intangible. In this series I try to represent emptyness, in particular the way it presents itself in the spaces of railway stations, deserted and anonymous. Autobiographical memories play a part in this work. The images constructed also as it were reflect a dreamed reality, such as the one represented in the surrealist paintings of the Italian painter Giorgio De Chirico. Images of tangible urban / architectonic shapes transform into seemingly abstract ‘environments´ in which the light brings about a metamorphosis and creates a new perception and as such emphasizes the emptyness. In this series man is invisible, but one does still feel a human presence.
