NOWHERE, Imagining the Global City at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Xiamen, China

Opening November 29, 2025
Duration November 29, 2025 - January 11, 2026

For those in China: Welcome! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I'm very happy to announce my solo exhibition during the Jimei x Arles Fotofestival in Xiamen, China at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre. This revised and exciting edition of the NOWHERE, Imagining the Global City exhibition comes with new spaces, 26 large scale photoworks, videos, lightboxes and the installation of XL wallpapers. The original 18x3m AI-driven videowall is included as well and at the center of it all.

An extensive side-program includes tours, lectures, curatorial programming and lively debates with the wider art and photography community. Co-produced by Paradox.

In addition, I'll be travelling to the city of Chongqing for a first field trip in order to create new work in the upcoming year. This bustling metropolis is going to be a challenge with nicknames like ‘Cyberpunk City’ or ‘5D-City’. I'm very excited and will keep you updated.

Many thanks to Paradox, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, Mondriaan Fund, Creative Industries Fund, Nederlands Fotomuseum and private sponsors.
