The works of these three photographers suggest an intense experience of the depicted landscapes. Scenes that at first seem recognisable and unimportant become layered through the framing and use of light – making it almost obligatory for one to stop 
and contemplate. For the exhibition, in which interaction was made possible between a more established and two emerging artists, the exhibition site was of great importance. 
At night, the imposing building at Arie Biemondstraat 111 – originally housing an anatomical pathology laboratory – offers a poetic sight and seems to go back to the life 
and work that once took place there. Similarly, the urban landscapes in the photos seem palimpsests: worn and re-used parchments on which earlier texts are still partially readable.
