Forgotten Places

Radio Station

— art deco sentinels, guarding signals sent to the other side of the world

007 was here

— licensed to rust, but still looking sharp

Abandoned in White

— yet the light makes it feel alive

Bon Vivant

— he sure knew how to party, if only he could tell us his magnificent stories

Phoning Home

— every cable a conversation, every plug a secret nobody remembers anymore

The Green Protocole

— the kind of clean that doesn't ask questions

Vigilant

— sixty years on standby, and still dressed for the occasion

Neighbours

— fifty years apart, both asking for coins; some things never change

Red, Yellow and Blue

— primary colours, industrial application, accidental Mondrian

Reflection of History

— the longer you look, the more the layers of history unfold

Switches

— NSA, OBC, ALB … somewhere a manual explains this, probably (Bunker bij Het Zendstation)

Teufelsberg

— once spies listened here in silence, now the walls scream colourful edgy opinions

Waiting to be Sent

— all files were ready to go... but 50 years on, are still waiting to be sent

Christmas Leftovers

— shiny balls of hope, hanging like golden memories of better days in this place in between times

From another Era

— it’s shape so alien, you cannot decide whether it’s from the past or the future

Left Behind

— whoever owned these books is gone however their stories remain

Remnants of a Wall

— fallen but still upright (East Side Gallery, Berlin)

World History

— Spanner's Weltgeschichte, volume six ... still open, a history still waiting to be finished

Al Fresco Ruins

— someone framed a ruin with flowers, just to soften the blow

Bloody Tower

— 800+ years old and still the most cheerfully named building on the block

Courtyard of the Favorites

— the favorites left, the gold stayed

Feathered Turban

— rank, faith and a single feather were all that remained

Into the Harem

— a door that opened for a select few, and closed behind them forever

Royal Soak

— the most ornate plumbing in the history of personal hygiene

Weathered

— the sculptor's work was finished in a day, time spent the next few hundred years improving it
