Stijn van der Linden, an essay on the concave city corner, 2019
PWA Dummy Award 2018
In collaboration with Kvadrat, Idea Books, Reflektor, and European Photography.
Stijn van der Linden’s photobook is an exploration of how spaces become spaces and how photography can influence this process. It is an artistic experiment that examines concave city corners and tries to systemize corners using certain codes and diagrams related to their physical appearances. Do corners create their own places by connecting certain colours, materials and objects… or is it all a matter of people’s perception? an essay on the concave city corner is a poetic and faux-scientific look on hidden and vague locations in the city.
