‘Deadalus Labyrinth’
2018
'Daedalus Labyrinth' Gortys February 2018
The labyrinth of Daedalus comes from the Greek mythology where Deadalus and his son Icarus were imprisoned in a labyrinth on Crete which he had built for King Minos.
A labyrinth, a puzzle of roads of which the way out is almost impossible to find because you do not get an overview of the total and only see fragments.
This given; fragments without sight or distance to the total I have translated into a project,
and this worked out on Crete
For 9 days I have recorded the remains of an archaeological building according to the method described above with a varying cycle time.
Every day I made 2 registrations from a different point of view. After 6 days I returned to my first point, the labyrinth feeling, and I started again.
Around the head of Schouwen"
2018In 9 days I walk every day on the beach between the water line and the dunes. In 3 consecutive locations per day, with an interval of half an hour, I made a registration of the landscape that I at that moment observed. Starting at the north side of the head of Schouwen on Saturday 10 June at 7 a.m. And end on the south side on Sunday, June 18 at 7 pm.
The waiting of Odyssey 1
2017
The waiting of Odyssey is a project inspired by a chapter from Homer's book Odyssey. During the last 7 years of his wanderings he was with Calypso on an island. He was sitting on the coast for days watching the sea in the direction of Ithaca.
Days looking at the same, and still seeing the same every time different
What I did was going to the same place on the east coast of Sicily for 25 days and recorded what I saw as.
I did this twice a day at the same time, 7:00 and 17:00 every day.

Frontline Ramskapelle
2016
This series is based on the front line along the river iron during the 1st W.O.
During the 1st World War, the front line along the iron was not moved.
This means that soldiers who were there for 4 years, day to day, looked to
the same landscape .
I have registered the same landscape for 7 days, at different times of the day.
The same landscape but by changing time and weather, always different.
Up and down along
2015For 28 days I recorded every day the river landscape of de Lek, between Werk aan het Spoel and fort Everdingen, in four different ways and the result I incorporated into a photo collage.

2015
This photo collage was created during a day work at the beach at Westerschouwen.
During the day I, rotating with the sun, registered the surrounding landscape
According to the above-mentioned concept.
For the 1st series registrations I placed the camera at a distance of the registration point, so that I as registrar was in view. This inspired by the painting - Monk at Sea CD Fiedrich.
in 17 weeks from the east to the bridge
2014This photo collage was created during a 17-week project along the Waal at the bridge of Zaltbommel. Starting from the east on the point where the bridge for the first time was visible, one day a week I made a record of the bridge as in the previously described concept. Every week a lot closer to the bridge.

2014
This photo collage is made on a place in the Netherlands where two rivers, the Maas and Waal, coming so close together that both rivers are visible from one point.
From that point I have distributed the surrounding landscape into 16 geographical directions, and then I recorded every direction as previously mentioned concept of four different ways of registering. This hole process was spread over several days

2013
This photo collage is the result of a month's work in a fortification of the Holland Water Defence Line
I divided the fortification “Werk aan het Spoel” in 31 parts
Every day of the month I sat down on a next location with a
mobile camera obscura.
Every day I make 4 different ways of registration from the surrounding
landscape.
The upper track is a normal recording of the visible photograph scenery.
The 2nd line are photos taken in the camera obscura of the landscape as
that was visible on the inside for a camera with a long exposure time.
The 3rd line are drawings or photographs from drawings or monochrome paintings of landscape
what I observed and recorded in the camera obscura.
The 4th track are photographs of watercolors that I made from the same location but
outside the camera.
