Amsterdam, Bricks
"Amsterdam, Bricks" is a project of urban exploration. These buildings, unified by their material constitution, are more than mere structures; they act as containers of memory and fiction. Using a large format camera, my slow process allows me to interpret place as pauses in the rhythm of life. The resulting photographs suggest a speculative version of Amsterdam—one where humans are absent, yet their presence lingers in subtle traces, as though the city is suspended between the past and an imagined future. The absence of people, alongside traces of their lives—parked bicycles, objects left behind—creates a tension between what is present and what is missing. This ambiguity encourages viewers to rethink their relationship with place, asking how we inhabit cities and how cities, in turn, inhabit us.
