Destinations (Bijlmer project)
A Study in Urban Development
Collage made in the Bijlmer, an intercultural suburb of Amsterdam
The Bijlmer is currently undergoing a huge renovation project, renewing its poor and often negative image. Many flats are broken down and will be replaced by more up to date apartment-blocks.
Because the Bijlmer is home for many people of the African community, I placed a 'local' South African woman in front of the image of renovation. She could symbolize a more 'global' meaning of 'escape', migration or search for new destinations or living circumstances.
