BRIDGE-PERFORMANCES (ongoing worldwide performances outside the art-institutions)
Around the world, I am doing Bridge-Performances. These performances are the makings of photographs of me by tourists on bridges. In post-production, I experiment with these photographs to emphasize certain ideas. Such as the current refugee crisis, power structures, communication, authorship and personal development.

"Hi, could you make a picture of me please?" So far I did bridge performances in 13 countries. And I want to do the Bridge-Performances all over the world. It is a simple action: I ask people to make a picture of me with the bridge in the background. They don't know that it is an art performance. I act like a (fellow) tourist. I give them my iPhone and stand in front of the Bridge. The action, the performance is asking the people to make a picture of me and the interaction that is involved with this. The photos you see here below are objects of proof so to speak, memories, art.
