“For the series ‘Commonness’ I’ve portrayed the cities Bordeaux, Kosice, Mechelen, Plzen and Mons all European cities that aspire to the title of European Capital of Culture.

And yet, here they are shown to be overwhelmingly homogenous.” – Dieuwertje Komen

“I suppose part of me is running away from photography or maybe the things that photography is good at and I have been enjoying dancing around and trying to leap out of the technical boundaries that it offers.”
