What story comes to mind?
Hanging in stairwell C are 6 photographs by Marco van Duyvendijk, part of a larger series he made in China (Guanghzou province). The eighteenth-century wallpaper in the country house Oud Amelisweerd (Bunnik) prompted the artist to travel to the place where this wallpaper was made in search of the representations and traditions depicted on the wallpaper. The artist makes the interface visible between old and new culture, between preserved traditions and modern influences from the West. Van Duyvendijk's work is documentarial and is characterized by a strong sense of colour.
