Schiehaven 17

The start of the intervention at Schiehaven 17. Photography Aad Hoogendoorn.

In this session we move into the vapour layer of the atmosphere and the stone walls in the city. Although these elements are located in different parts of the urban environment, they share a common origin: the river. Can we stretch the concept of a river, beyond its banks?
Under the guidance of Femke Jansen and Rokus Oskam, we delve into these material manifestations.
