OMNIVOOR
A huge frame like shape on an appartement tower in Rotterdam Ommoord asked me to use its potential. Now, different subjects from conversations I had with people from the neighbourhood are shown on this mural.
Read the stories of all the residents right here.
Tthe painting is about Jean for example.
He was an officer of the fire brigade in the 1970's. On the first car-free Sunday ever, during the oil crisis, Jean was on duty. A little boy had been fallen trough the ice of the frozen Rotte. Because of the car-free Sunday, the ambulance was not warned and they took the boy in the police car to the Bergweg hospital. Unfortunately to late. Jean has a fondness for amateur photography. He finds it a challenge to direct the viewer's eyes by means of lighting. There is nothing more fun, for example, to photograph a pile of paving stones with a green band around it in such a way that the eye is caught in it.
