Willem de Haan, "Highrise Campsite: Nature City" (2023),

The installation holds up against the broader housing conversation happening across Europe. The Netherlands, like most of Western Europe, is grappling with a serious shortage of affordable space. Urban density is rising, rural areas are under development pressure, and the idea of simply going somewhere open and uncrowded feels increasingly like a privilege.

Highrise Campsite makes that tension visible without screaming at you about it. It’s quietly funny and quietly uncomfortable, which is exactly where the best social commentary lives.

‘24 Hrs in Photos’ by Erik Kessels (2011)

We’re exposed to an overload of images nowadays. This glut is in large part of the result of image-sharing sites like Flickr, networking sites like Facebook and Instagram and picture-based search engines. Their contact mingles the public and private, with the very personal being openly displayed.

By printing 350.000 images, uploaded in a twenty-four hours period, the feeling of drowning in representations of other peoples’ experiences is visualized.
