Exhibition Huis Marseille, Amsterdam | Dec. 10 - March 5
After Baldus, an investigative project into the relationships of photographic histories, memory and memorialization based on the landscapes of Picardy as depicted in the 1855 photographic album Chemin de Fer du Nord
by Eduard-Dennis Baldus, had it's first museum presentation In Huis Marseille. The presentation consisted of an album of 50 original prints the same size as the original Baldus album, printed by ourselves. Visitors where allowed to leaf through the album with white-gloved hands. We combined After Baldus with the projection of a film we commissioned of the original album being leafed through by the conservator Jessica Johnston. The sound of those old pages being turned over added to the physical sensation of leafing through our After Baldus
album.
After Baldus publication. Meant as a souvenir to the exhibition we published a small zine, designed by Studio Joost Grootens, in a numbered and signed edition of 100 copies. It included a text on the project by Alison Nordström and two signed and numbered prints made by Theo Baart and myself. The publication has sold out.
