Rotterdamse Daken Dagen 2023 / Bovenop Zuid
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Zuidplen, Rotterdamse DakenDagen/Bovenop Zuid (uncut).
Captured during the Bovenop Zuid roof walk, on the roof of the ZuidPlein shopping mall, shot towards subway station Zuidplein and the centre of Rotterdam.
The walk is street-art rich and fascinating. The swirling lines of the floor painting ('Z-A (Zuid al het andere)') are from Ilke Gers (member of the Opperclaes collective), and the photos (Rotterdam kids at a boxing school) from Marwan Magroun.
The other artist(collectives) showcased @ Bovenop Zuid are: here.
Dutch Steigers again realized the scaffolding. The nature of the construction material sometimes adds a fairground type of thrill. The supporting towers are iron, and the walkway planks are aluminium, and they sometimes nicely sag a bit while walking on them.
The context: "In modern cities, miles of unused flat rooftops await a new function. In Rotterdam alone, there are over 18 square kilometres of unused flat roofs. That must change, and the rooftops can provide the space to realize the housing challenge, energy transition, climate change and inclusiveness in cities". Text: from the Dakendagen website.
By the way: Hurry, Bovenop Zuid closes on June 30.
This is number 8 of Rotterdamse Daken Dagen 2022 & 2023.
