Free project for the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

For his interior paintings, Jan Vermeer always utilizes the same space: A simple box with a window on the left hand side. He only changes the furnishing.

This museum installation follows the same basic idea. Vermeer’s empty space is equipped with freely chosen elements from his paintings. In this way, actual scenes already painted by Vermeer can be reconstructed, but also any number of others can be assembled – which he could have painted but did not, for whatever reason.
