Most of my projects can be seen as an ongoing process of arranging, analysing, and archiving — a fluid place of storage. A method to understand my relation to fellow humans, objects, and spaces. Being perceived and perceiving. So I started photographing places that show traces of social mobility. Capturing my surroundings and suddenly seeing coincidental recognizable aspects of places and situations. Places that show our passage and dynamics. Places where poor to rich - and rich to poor - show themselves in the landscape. I think it is a good reflection of the way art works. As you move up in your career, how do you change the way you talk? The way you walk and move and sell your work? But also, how do the mental layers underlying our daily routines, perceptions and ideas reflect?

This work was first on show at the City Hall exhibition in Leiden. On view for three months, the exhibition was part of various events in the city such as the Kunstroute and Leiden Art Science Week. Voor de Vorm opened the conversation about Leiden’s maker climate and the versatility of contemporary makers. The exhibition opening was in the same week that the municipality decided to pull all cultural funds due to budget issues with the municipality building. The triptych has flexible pricing. If you paste stickers on it, you can change the amount of money I would receive for the work. Each red sticker subtracted €50 from the price. Each black sticker adds €50. People may make the work free. But the cheaper you go, the less of the work you’ll see.
