The coming weeks I’ll be working on my exhibition at NP3 in Groningen, the Netherlands. The exhibition ‘After-Hour Shopping Mall’ shows my latest work made in Beijing.
You can follow the process via their webcam.
There were some though decisions to make. And so the beautiful and surreal series on the castles of Juzifang will not be presented this time. I have different plans for that series…
Urban village in the process of transition, outside of 5th ring road Beijing.
A cute little project inspired by the complex city of Metro Manila. Excerpts of Manila advertisements, most of them on cash flow. I used them for my new business cards.
What an Inspector Verification Officer is supposed to be? Beats me. It might just be the guy who checks upon the verification officer. That’s something I’ve seen a lot. People who check upon other peoples jobs, I guess it’s a way to avoid corruption.
I must say that Manila inspired me a lot, not only visual but also on language. I wrote lyrics for the song ‘Win or loose, we go shopping after the election’. A famous saying by Miss Marcos. If my band ‘After die flöte’ will ever see the rise of daylight again this will surely be one of our hits!
A gas station I pas by weekly on my way to the school for migrant children where I volunteer as an English teacher. It’s a fine example of some good old fashioned neoclassicist ‘design-it-yourself’ architecture.
The Carrefour is not very far, hence the bus that I guess takes customers to and from the hypermarket. Although I know Carrefour has it’s hypermarkets all over the globe I still associate it with summer holidays in France. As soon as you hit the first hypermarché you knew we were in France.
