Description
In preparation for this exhibition I went to Mexico (October 2009). I kept two conferences, where the plans for the exhibition are presented, including an explanation of my work, the theme of the exhibition, and the techniques I use.
Additionally, I started my research into the Mayan culture, the traditions and their integration at this time. I used, inter alia, through photography, heard the stories and observed the customs and rituals of the contemporary Maya. The end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 today attracts worldwide attention. This creates a confusing picture in which legends of past and present are playing a role. Is the future a new culture, and what shapes and stories may all think? This I have studied and incorporated into my Art.
All models in my art are real Maya people I've photographed in Merida.
* Dos Mundos/Two Worlds: Exposition Musea Galerie Peon Contreras, Merida, Mexico. 29 -10 till 28-11, 2010. Support by the Mondriaan Foundation/Stichting, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Great imagination & beautiful work. I recently saw a fascinating movie called "Breaking the Maya Code", which traces the work done on decoding the meaning of Mayan carvings - if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it...
