Rear Window 2008

​

Rear Window was developed for the exhibition Becoming Dutch at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.

 

After moving to Amsterdam in 1998, I became fascinated by something that seemed very ordinary to people around me: the open curtains of ground-floor apartments. From the street, it was possible to look directly into private interiors. At first I read this as a sign of openness, almost as a cultural statement—nothing to hide, nothing to conceal.
