CONCEPTUAL PHOTO SERIES ABOUT AN ABSURD HOUSING MARKET
The photo series Keep on dreaming shows a young couple in their new home. As a spectator, you catch a glimpse of the typical scenes that occur when moving to a new house. However, the situation turns out to be less rosy than it seems to be at first sight: the couple is living in a dollhouse.
The people on the photos are my boyfriend and me. I have depicted the absurdity of the housing market from my personal feeling of powerlessness. Amsterdam has been struggling with a major housing shortage for years. For starters, it's hard to find an affordable house to rent, let alone to buy a house. Like many others, I can only dream about buying a house bigger than a dollhouse.
Models: Harm Rieske and Anne Rosenberg (me)
From March 21 until April 26 2023, this series has been exhibited at OBA Javaplein.
