Building Straat
In this series ‘Building STRAAT’ I’m trying to show the creativity at the NDSM-Wharf in Amsterdam. Particularly the developing of the place they nowadays call STRAAT Museum. I’ll show you the builders and the heroes who are trying to make the urban area a nicer place. Those creators standing on their scaffoldings, hovering above the earth in their aerial work platforms or old school waving around their spray cans from a ladder. (2015 - 2020)
