LINE 7, A WORLD JOURNEY
The trams of line 7 run across Rotterdam from the deprived neighbourhood of Spangen to the prosperous Kralingen. On the way the tram runs through neighbourhoods which vary greatly in terms of appearance, population, nationality and culture. Luijendijk photographed the interiors of stores along the route: the baker and the jeweller, the second hand shop and the chic restaurant, the Islamic butcher and the Indian sari shop. His photographs are a report on a world tour through his own city, reflecting the multicultural society of the Netherlands while at the same time revealing the economic differences.
