DAAN ZUIJDERWIJK | WANTING TO MEET THE EARTH | SOLO EXHIBITION
Over the past five years Daan Zuijderwijk has extricated himself from most human systems. With a tiny house on wheels he and his family venture through the mountains and woods that can be seen in his images. In the most remote and rugged landscapes of Europe, from Scotland and Norway to France or Spain, Daan scrambles his way into the darkness with his camera, tripod and equipment and heads for the promising spot that he had his eye on. The woods, the mountain, the cliff, the valley produce extraordinary and strange images; they have been transformed by his interventions in the darkness, allowing colored lamps and laser pens to stroke across trees and boulders. That is how his images take shape, by means of an inspired and thought-out performance in the night.
