For the past 2 years, Madeleine has been visiting various hospitality establishments in Rotterdam to capture their interiors on the spot. Here, she can absorb a real atmosphere and paint a moment or situation that touches her: ...the morning light, a woman with a hat, a lonely figure in a corner, or an enthusiastic conversation...as Madeleine explains. More than portrait of bars, this series is a pretext to speak about the social significance of these places of exchange, communication or poignant, reflective solitude.
