For the past two and a half years, I have been taking photographs in the Indische Buurt in Amsterdam.
Reflecting on the current, often biased formation and representation of images as in the media.
We look and think in subconsious patterns, passing what we already know - or do we?

![[Radio doc] Japanse stemmen](headings/c_radio_japansestemmen.gif)
The VPRO Radio documentary Japanse stemmen, made together with Sofie van Dam, tells the story of a women vocal orchestra in a Japanese internment camp during WOII in the Dutch East Indies. Although it was forbidden to gather, a group of women taught themselves compositions of Beethoven, Chopin a.o.; due to the lack of instruments they used their voices. They sang to escape reality and survive during their years of captivity in harsh conditions. This beautiful music is living on since then, in the Netherlands ánd in Japan, where the war is hardly talked about.
