Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Pioneering photographer Ari Versluis unveils "Proximity" at Schlachter 151: A deep dive into 90s social identity and fashion
 

Renowned photographer Ari Versluis, celebrated for his exploration of social identity and fashion, will present his latest research project, “Proximity,” at Schlachter 151. Known for his iconic art project Exactitudes, authentic fashion editorials, and capturing the emerging Gabber scene of 90s Rotterdam, Versluis's work delves into themes of identity, individuality, and authenticity.
“Proximity” is an ongoing research project that revisits Versluis’s 90s archives, presenting for the first time a unique perspective on his early casting encounters.
From axes of observation, these nineties-era documentations reflect manifestations of closeness and outward confidence, captured through the lens of Versluis’s ergonomic 35mm Olympus pocket camera.
This exhibition marks the first spatial presentation of "Proximity" and offers a glimpse into Versluis's upcoming book, ‘Open House.’

 

Welcome to the Timberland Family

We all experience moments of remembering in the sight of our own past and personal encounters. They awaken associations in us, evoke feelings and bring memories back to life. Many of us are familiar with walking through the entrance to a residential for a celebration and finding ourselves surrounded by different pairs of shoes, owned by people who are coming together, and spending time with each other. Even in these small, seemingly insignificant gestures, the way we leave our shoes as we enter a room reveals the individual’s personality.
Do we put them away neatly organized? Do we leave them exactly as we took them off? 

Timberland, a cult brand of the 90s and a mirror of the current zeitgeist, makes the brand's iconic 6-inch boots a tangible part of the exhibition. “Proximity” marks a shared trip through the 90s, but also the personal journey of the individual and the momentum of memory.
