2000, panoramic photograph, 60 x 800 cm, C-print
In the collection of ZOA Zorgverzekering
'Den Oever' unveils an old fisherman’s shed, choked with dusty clutter. Up close, a man in a jacket seems to emerge—or is it just hanging there? At the center, a faint female figure in a long nightgown looms. This panoramic image weaves multiple perspectives into one, rendering its space tangible within a two-dimensional frame. Stretching 60 by 800 cm, the photograph invites you to move along its length: draw near to trace intimate details—textures that evoke a near-physical encounter—or step back for a view that reveals a mental, psychological layer of the scene. Who are these figures, and what binds them to this space? By blending viewpoints, 'Den Oever' redefines how we perceive, feel, and explore space.
