Edwin Zwakman (1969, The Hague, Netherlands) is known for reconstructing the world entirely from memory by building and photographing sets in his studio. The places he depicts do not exist. They are compactions of banal, yet seminal situations that can be found in endless variations anywhere in the world. He has the ability to surprise his viewer with the undisputable self-evidence of the image. Maybe they reconnect with our own memories, transforming the ordinary into the archetypical.
