Ans Volkers

This video projection was on show in september 2007 during the exhibition 'Whatever happened to ...?' of the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague. In april 2007, this work was on show in Gallery KingKong in the Hague. And in February 2007, during the exhibition of '5PAcK' in the Gallery of Art Center Haagweg4, Haagweg 4 in Leiden.

In the Daily Newspaper of Leiden Bernadette van der Goes wrote in her review: "(...) But the real surprise of the exhibition is a video film on the upper floor of the gallery. Ans Volkers registered an ordinary Street, with houses, a sidewalk, a road with lamp posts and trees on the other side. While walking through the street, Volkers films what she sees: the bikes that are against the facades, parked cars, the Windows of the houses in which the sky and the trees reflect, some passing cyclists and motorists, a bird flying by, and the end of the street. Where would that lead to? We will not know. Because right before the street corner, Volkers is filming walking backwards to the point where she started, after which the film starts again. It is through that endless repetition this contemporary cityscape becomes ever more special. "
