Construction Site for an Ark (2003)

Construction Site for an Ark is the proposal of Tako Reijenga and Roeland Otten in the contest A Design For Places Left After Planning by Atelier HSL and SKOR.
We chose a location, triangled by railtracks, near the Rotterdam zoo Blijdorp, near where we both lived.

Our proposal was to start a construction site for an ark, with it's entrance towards the zoo. Trying to put in perspective big infrastructural projects such as the realization of the new
hi-speed railtrack, we thought this basic multi-religious(!) symbol would make sense in a cultural divers city like Rotterdam. With the construction of the ark, to be built in the timeframe
of the HSL track, we thought to tell a topical story, about consuming and rising sealevels. Not realized.

Flyer design exhibition Foreign Affairs - Berlin (2004)

For Rotterdam based contemporary art center TENT. I travelled to Berlin to meet the participating artists of the group show Foreign Affairs - Berlin,
and for me the most remarkable change since the euphoric 1990's, was that of a disappointed sentiment about the bankrupt city.

It resulted in a series of 5 flyers with photo's of texts on buildings and graphic symbols that remind of Rorschach.
