Triptych, each panel 100 x 70 x 10 cm. In the first instance we see a floor plan that connects three separate panels. A closer look reveals that this structure is filled with photographs of ancient excavations, blackened destroyed cities, rebuilt cities, monuments and in the center the stately pillars of a cathedral. Totally different points of view and perspective lines are shaken here. The fact that in addition to multiple perspectives also different periods in history are mixed together contributes to the epic character of the work. A notable fragment is that of kneeling soldiers in a bombed church with light coming down at the top right. With this classical image of faith and resilience, the artist seems to consider how the fate of the city is connected to that of man and vice versa. Collage, tempex, digital prints, glue cardboard, tape and wood.

Peter Spaans (Weesp, 1953, based in Amsterdam). Photography, books, mixed media, installations. Visualization of my fragmented thinking through photography, mixed media, collages, books and installations. In his body of work Peter Spaans ignores obvious subject matter such as famous landmarks; he is more interested in the ordinary cityscapes, and spaces that are often ( or not ) photographed or videotaped by many different people. For Mr. Spaans, it is important to understand these common urban spaces and how they function, as he believes they are what influence our lives the most. These are the spaces we encounter each day; they are where we live our normal day to day livesInspired by the daily life on the streets in different cities, films and photographs (newspapers and magazines). Peter Spaans worked with such curators as Okwui Enwezor (The Second Johannesburg Biennial, the traveling exhibition 'Mirror's Edge' with its share 'The Unknown Cities' project! and the book 'Cream contemporary art in culture'); Hou Hanru (The exhibition 'Unlimited II ' at De Appel, Amsterdam); and Jan Hoet (Sonsbeek 9, with Hans Eijkelboom, Arnhem). Exhibited worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Denmark, South Africa, England, Scotland, and the Netherlands. Peter worked on assignments for the Rai and the Bijenkorf, Amsterdam, and collaborated with such artists as Hans Eijkelboom** and Bert Wils*. Peter Spaans is represented by Johan Deumens Gallery, Amsterdam, and by Harper's books, New York.
