Berliner Dome

Sometimes, just sometimes, visiting a [inspiring] city can have a major impact on your life. Berlin did this for me on a couple of occasions. It changed the way I looked at certain things. You might have experienced that yourself. It can be hard at some moments. But believe me, in the end it's all worth it. So I would suggest to live for these moments and you will not regret it.
This is my first piece in a series of 4. I hope to finish the others soon, but again I need some time.

Work in Progress (BerlinerDome)

This is a first cutout in a series of 4 beautifull buildings I'll be making in the coming months. The Decay-series will take a bit longer then I expected, so you have to wait a bit longer for that to be completed.

Mantelzorg@Work

People who look after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner in combination with their work, have little time for themselves. This type of volunteer aid never stops; it is 24/7. We should be proud of these working caretakers. This time-lapse video is part of the Dutch volunteer aid campaign called Mantelzorg@work. The aim of the campaign is to communicate more knowledge for this combination of people doing a daily job and providing unpaid care for relatives or friends. This way, we want to create familiarity and discussion about the subject among employees, in order to convince employers to create a solution for their caring workers. http://www.werkenmantelzorg.nl

The Lord's Love

Not to long ago there was a heated argument in the Netherlands about a certain poster portraying a young female in a bikini which was believed to be degrading and offencive towards women. About 2 weeks ago I saw a lot of religious posters in one of the largest trainstations in the Netherlands depicting a passage from the Bible, which struck a nerve...

...Loosely translated the text reads: I'am THE light of the world. Who follows ME will never wander in darkness, but live in the light.

On a personal note: I want to congratulate the person who only took down the canvas and left the plack in the lower right corner behind, with being the new owner of my work. Please treat it with respect.

Eadweard Muybridge (April 9, 1830 – May 8, 1904) was an English-born photographer, known primarily for his early use of multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated celluloid film strip still used today.

Corporate Headquarters part two

i want to make the public aware of something they do not quite know that they know – or have them feel that way. (...) it is about transferring information, but at the same time a certain lack of specificity

what is at stake is not the availability of cheap products but the free publication of, or access to, a healthy diversity of ideas. the concentration of ownership among internet, publishing and book retail does not help.

publics interest of having free availability and flow of information in the public domain is constrained by the fact that content owners shield of the use of information
