The Marsdiep is a tidal race between the city of Den Helder and the island of Texel, the Netherlands.
I finally got some developer, so this is the 'good' ones from a roll I took a few weeks ago on the south bank. I'm not sure that I developed this stuff for long enough and I still get loads of dust on everything. Sigh. Most of the dust has been photoshopped out, but I have no idea what that thing is on the top left hand corner. A fingernail imprint perhaps?
While we're down in the basement of the ICTY, and specifically in the space that holds the old generator, I thought it could be interesting to show this. This is the kind of photo that, perhaps even more than the one of the old generator, speaks of a world that was very different than today's.
I'm not thinking of the fact that there's a sort of phone kiosk or station on the wall. In a technical room. Inhabited pretty much only by a massive diesel beast. I'm thinking of the fact that when the building was constructed in the 1950s such a thing had to be put up as well because it just went with a telephone.
I doubt very much that it had anything to do with the noise level that would have been heard in this room when the generator was running. This – sounds, or rather their absence – is another aspect that I like about this photo. The noises which once inhabited this space, be it from the generator or from the technicians who placed calls from this kiosk.
From my project The Tribunal, which I made during my last years at the ICTY to show the great diversity of this amazing institution. The full project can be accessed on my site below.
