Since today, five of my works have been purchased by the Dutch Railways Head Office in Utrecht. These works have been developed for the Executive Board and are situated in their work and meeting spaces. All photos from these works are from the photo book Station to Station to Station. The beautiful wooden frames are made in cooperation with furniture maker Frida van der Poel.

The custom-made wooden housing made of zebra wood (FSC quality mark) contains a Full HD monitor with player and a motion detector. The player automatically plays with movement and plays the video in loop. The video can be paused, a pause button is mounted on the right, but not turned off. Thirty minutes after the last move, the video automatically stops playing. The size of the monitor is 22 inches (55.88 cm), which amounts to 27.40 x 48.70 cm. The total work, including housing, a few cm larger. On the left side of the wooden housing the title has been milled.

The work is in the office of the president of NS
The Client’s meeting room has two photos that have been taken just one second in succession. Both are titled: 16.04.2017 19:09 Track section Amf – Zl ICMm 4213 at Hanzeboog Zwolle 665. On the left side of the wooden housing the title has been milled.

The photos are printed on high quality photo paper and glued between dibond and antireflex plexiglass (which is necessary with the many fluorescent lamps). The frames are custom made by furniture maker Frida van der Poel.
Size of the photos: 140 x 105 cm. Slightly larger with frame.
