Exposition Music in the air
From 5 to 29 October 2006 you can visit the exposition Music in the air in the ABC Treehouse gallery, organized by the Fotografenavond. I take part with work from my Bijlmerbreakz project with four compilations of various aspects of the artistic work of this foundation: jam session, in da hood, Tk-jive at the Uitmarkt and Zanillya in the studio.
Look at the images that were used for the compilations.
