Who are the artists and their works?
Out of the Mundane
These are everyday situations, but they seem alienated and create a mysterious and desolate image.
It seems as if we are watching fragments of a dream or a fictional film.
Unearthly images that are not staged or edited. But observations in the public space of Amsterdam.
If we pass by them every day, they are not noticeable. An alternative view of the city that you rarely see.
He notices them, prints and dreams away.
Kolenkitbuurt resident and photographer Alexander Moerland (1984) mainly photographs in Amsterdam West.
Special situations in everyday life, observations that fuel his creativity.
Creating and expressing these observations gives him serenity, inspiration & life satisfaction.
