China Shard Landscape, Limoges, France, 2007.

During a cloudy yet sunny day a pile of broken china alongside the road in front of a porcelain factory in Limoges caught my eye. I pulled over, got out of my car and down on the ground, quickly adjusted my shutter time and aperture, scaled my image and took the shot. It never never ceases to amaze me how a photograph can redefine reality in a split second. As so often is the case with my work this picture was also heavely inspired by Jean Michel Jarre's 45 minute track 'Waiting for Cousteau'. I owe so much to this man...

The photograph was part of an exhibition in Artmuseum The Hague called Zomerexpo, Masters of the Lowlands in 2011

Time lapse photograph of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, facade facing the garden, Maincy, France, 2021

When lit in the right way and photographed using a zoomlens with a very slow shutter speed, the facade facing the garden of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (picture 1) seems to bear a striking resemblence to architect Louis Le Vau’s design for the so-called Envelope (picture 2) which was erected at the Chateau de Versailles between 1668 and 1670. This creation wrapped itself around an already existing and fairly modest hunting lodge build by Louis XIII decades earlier.
After Louis XIV had visited the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1661, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André Le Nôtre and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun, who had worked together on this large-scale project, were commissioned by the Sun King to rebuild and further extend his Chateau de Versailles. Their collaboration eventually became known as the Louis XIV style combining architecture, interior design and landscape design in one grandiose apotheosis: nature becoming architecture and archtecture incorporating nature.

As so often is the case with my work, this photograph wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the inspiring music of Jean Michel Jarre, - especially his 45 minute track “Waiting for Cousteau” - and Nils Frahm - in particular his brilliant live performance of “Says”.
