spreidstand

dat enige spreidstand
altijd leidt tot verpletterde tenen"

ninth floor

Jessica Dimmock is een Amerikaanse fotografe. Ze was bijna drie jaar lang een stille getuige van het leven van een groep heroïneverslaafden in een appartement in Manhattan. Haar fotoserie The Ninth Floor is te zien in het Foam.

"I was on the street fiddling with a digital camera because as of then I had not used one before. I was approached by a cocaine dealer who made it clear that he was a dealer. Over the course of the conversation he made it clear that if I wanted to follow him and photograph him I could. He took me to a variety of places - parties, people's apartments, the owner of an escort service. The last place he ever took me was the apartment where the project starts. He was arrested shortly thereafter, and I have never seen him since, despite trying to find him. But because he brought me to this apartment and made the initial introduction I went back with prints from my first visit. After that, and some slow starts, I was allowed to return at any time."

tegenwind


er is zo weinig lucht in de stad, zei ze.
er is wel wind, zei ik.
tegenwind.

(but the night is a certitude)
