KOP VAN ZUID
This is the fourth time that Adrienne van Eekelen is taking part in the main exhibition at Noorderlicht. After her portraits of Russian women (1995), pregnant women (1997), and her picture report on a stay in a Japanese artists village (1999), she is now present with work about her own environment, the new Kop van Zuid neighbourhood in Rotterdam, a project she began in 1993. That is the year Van Eekelen settled in the former harbour area, and saw the old Kop van Zuid disappearing before her eyes and the new one arise. In nighttime shots she recorded how the area underwent a magical change.
