Jan den Hengst gives his home town of Aarlanderveen its individuality in the form of 37 portraits of fellow residents - independent people who form the warp and woof of the village community. People are also central to Koos Lina's work, but people merging into a mass, architecture and the city. Who or what is in the foreground, who or what in the background? Lina seeks the field of tension where people drown in their own constructions, or on the contrary demonstrate its grandeur. Ada Sluiter cleaned out the remnants of her own photo projects, and sewed a dress out of them. The result is called CHOTA: Cleaning the House of The Artist. The video "Entre les HLN" was also a result of this house-cleaning: a modern fairy tale about a woman and a dress of photographic paper: the ultimate recycling. René de Rooze has lived in New Guinea, Israel and Berlin, among other places. He creates installations from his own and found photo material from these places. He adds theatrical elements to them to arrive at frozen drama. Reality and fiction flow back and forth into one another in Gaia Louman's photography. Her portraits appear staged, but in fact document "the third bank of the river" (Guimãres Rosa), or the world of the unseen.
