A personal consequence of BREXIT?
Haus Lange in Krefeld is an address of pilgrimage for architectural studies and those people interested in Ludwig Mies von der Rohe’s style setting early work. Splendid and ageless architecture and garden environment.
Most recently this building became a new home for BREXIT refugee family that felt no longer welcome in England. Has it really become ‘a home’? If you watch the series of photos I took you might feel shocked as I was when I first lingered thru the stylish rooms. The car was still packed. The door was open… I entered as invited, saw valuable furniture, most goods still in boxes, piles of books. The pantechnicon obviously just left. Also very obvious: The landlady, mother and wife also left and will stay absent: ‘You will never see me again’ written on the mirror. That wasn’t a good sign. I felt sorry.
Then to my utmost horror I found the host floating dead in the pool… A husband, a father: dead! And nobody seems to care!
Even more desperate the boy hiding in the dining room – his distressed body language seems to ask: Can this my home? Where is my mother? Who is my mother? Where are my roots?
You may form your own opinion on this photo story – but being uprooted is the worst prerequisite for a new and positive start. Reasons are manifold. But if it comes to politics as a cause: Think before you vote, choose well whom you elect. It might affect your families’ life, too.
The artists Michael Elgreen and Ingar Dragset make us think with their fictive story and installation of an unhappy start in Haus Lange, Krefeld.
I as a photographer tried to transfer this mood and the atmosphre into 17 picture series ‘Die Zugezogenen’.

One Brexit with many turns, woes and unexpected end

Sticker seen in Edinburgh, Scotland that says "I demand a vote on the final Brexit deal" and "People's Vote".
In the event of T. Dismay's Brexit [means Brexit], the people's vote, democracy and strong and stable nonsense we keep hoping some grown-ups will retake the asylum or - just get ready for some real fun folks !!!.
One assumption made about the referendum in 2016 is that it was largely older folks who voted to Leave and young people who voted to Remain. However the presence of many senior citizens at yesterday's Put It To The People March in London seems to contradict this...
Momenteel bestaat de Europese Unie uit 28 landen. Het Verenigd Koninkrijk heeft besloten de EU te verlaten. Dit zal gebeuren op 12 april tenzij er wordt uitgesteld. Hoe dit gaat gebeuren is momenteel volstrekt onduidelijk.
Op de foto een Engelse postzegel, uitgegeven in 1973 ter gelegenheid van dat het VK lid werd van de voorganger van de EU, de EEG. De postzegel toont een puzzel van negen stukjes, toen waren er negen leden. De postzegel ligt op een wegenatlas uit 1969, van het zuidoosten van Engeland, Londen en de regio Calais in Frankrijk. En vanuit Londen kun je alle kanten op hetgeen nogal symbolisch is voor Brexit. Ik heb alleen scherpgesteld op de postzegel, de rest onduidelijk, want de weg naar Brexit is onduidelijk. In de bewerking heb ik het perspectief vertekend, de helderheid verminderd, en verder verneveld en verkleurd, allemaal zaken die ook in het Brexit-proces gebeuren.
Tot slot heb ik de foto verknipt in 28 stukjes, voor elk land van de EU één.

The European Union consists at this moment of 28 countries. The United Kingdom decided it wanted to leave the EU. This will happen on the 12th April unless it is postponed. How this will happen is now absolutely unclear.
On the photo an English postage stamp, issued in 1973 to commemorate becoming member of the predecessor of the EU, the EEC (‘Common Market’). The stamps shows a puzzle of nine pieces, then there were nine members. The stamp is on a roadatlas from 1969, and shows the south-east of England, London and the region Calais in France. From London one can go in every direction which is symbolical for Brexit. I only focussed on the stamp, the rest is out of focus, as is the road to Brexit. In processing I changed perspective, diminished clarity, changed colours, added haziness and these all happen also in the Brexit-process.
Finally I cut up the photo in 28 pieces, for every country in the EU one piece.
