Goede bedoelingen en modern wonen

Más información sobre el libro

Summary: Photographer Hans Eijkelboom is fascinated by the clash between the idealistic constructs of modernism and the harsh, sometimes dilapidated reality of his own living environment in the Bijlmer, the city district of Amsterdam-Southeast that was realized in the late 1970s. In 2008 the Art Foundation of Amsterdam's Academic Medical Center (AMC) commissioned him to portray the diversity of the Bijlmer | the AMC's immediate catchment area. The assignment resulted in a 'work in progress': Eijkelboom took 12 photos every month over a period of one and a half years, which resulted in a steadily expanding series of images of the colourful world outside being displayed on a temporary wall at the AMC hospital.
