Nog één jaar om je los te laten / one more year to let you go
In a last (?) effort to let you go, I decided to for one year buy myself a bouquet of roses every time i saw you. i photographed the roses every day. if i had a new bouquet, I would hang the old one to dry.
after three months i walked into a bar; the bartender looked like you. he asked me about the roses i was carrying and i told him about the project. he said that i should stop; that i wasn’t opening myself up to new experiences like this. at 10am, about twelve hours later, i exited the bar.
that last bouquet of roses never made it to the vase, only to the fire that i burned all acquired bouquets in a week later.
whether I will every truly let you go, i don’t know. perhaps i already have.

sticker off of the exhibition wall
69 photos - edition 1
at my first solo exhibition “voor alles een laatste keer” at pexpo, i showcased all 69 photos as stickers on the wall, and they could be bought off of there, as another ritual to let go. once chosen, i take off the sticker, leaving the adhesive paper behind, and place the sticker on a numbered and signed card, making it a one of a kind yet affordable piece of art.
