Curated by Nataša Hydra. Who went through thousands of my photos to create the first out of a series of
exhibition that are declarations of love, ‘Letter No. 1’. Also a ‘magazine’, containing the letter, has been made.
Order online or buy at the opening.

“…You moved me from the get go. When our friend introduced us. When our friend left us. No need for explanation. But what I want you to know is, that right there at that moment is where we met in life. And right there is where I met your art. And I love LOVE your art…”

In this exhibition Nataša expresses her personal relation to the work instead of bringing out the artist’s
point of view, making it more subjective but very focused.

With his rediscovery of photography in 2005, Rene Schmalschläger leaves behind the 8 preceding years of
socially engaged works. Rene’s photography becomes a ramble through the urban environment where he just
happens to be. His photography shows both his personal moods and his fascination with the self-organizing
processes of human perception. Layers are important. Trees that block the view on a building; cloths or
shadows concealing a façade. But also compositions that are so graphic that the photographed subject becomes
subordinate and confusion arises about perspective and spatial dimension.

SARATIMTRUST is a so-called artistsspace in the center of Rotterdam. A space for work, creating, presenting
and for getting inspired. It is a space with history, housing other art collectives before. Todays residents
are Frank Hanswijk, Nataša Heydra, Andreia Costa, Tim Leyendekker and Iñiy Sanchez.

I stayed just a week in Madrid. My third visit. But this time the city really got me. In these 5 photos I tried to capture some of my awe. Below on this page there is a second series to show more of the city itself.

A 3 hours double-decker tour through a fantastic city.

The word “perfection” derives from the Latin “perfectio”, and “perfect” — from “perfectus.” These expressions in turn come from “perficio” — “to finish”, “to bring to an end.” “Perfectio(n)” thus literally means “a finishing”, and “perfect(us)” — “finished”. Wikipedia

The earliest forms of storytelling were thought to have been primarily oral combined with gestures and expressions.

‘As a tourist in my own city I took a boot trip over the river Meuse.

Spido started a water-bus service in 1919 and nowadays they show tourists the Rotterdam harbour.

The cleaning of the Cathedral of Barcelona (photo 5 and 7) is almost finished. It looks magnificent. So I devote this series in it’s honour.

The Cathedral of Santa Eulalia is the Gothic cathedral seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona. The cathedral was constructed throughout the 13th to 15th centuries, with the principal work done in the 14th century. The neo-Gothic façade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that is common to Catalan churches in the 19th century.
