They connect the largest coal mine in Latin America with a coal port and subsequently with every household in Germany. The long-term project Canary in a Garden | Pueblos Espejos is a dialectically constructed examination of the neo-extractivist structures connecting the two regions. It deals with direct and indirect consequences of mining for impacted communities and eco-systems, involved actors and Western profiteers as well as our relationship with the ecosystems we inhabit. <img width="1440" height="1080" width_o="1440" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b9b82974b2b9d8bab24daddae4a3e3d42ce179fb8a77fef609c0d7266f1a7c9/_DSF3179.jpg" data-mid="219230126" border="0" alt="Endless Traintracks cutting through the landscape" data-caption="Endless Traintracks cutting through the landscape" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b9b82974b2b9d8bab24daddae4a3e3d42ce179fb8a77fef609c0d7266f1a7c9/_DSF3179.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90e97a9d884b622c405450b98d67a154bb0db4ef9e349c6431ebb6ad44acfe92/Canary-in-a-Garden-1644.jpg" data-mid="215007674" border="0" alt="View of a Landfill in La Guajira" data-caption="View of a Landfill in La Guajira" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90e97a9d884b622c405450b98d67a154bb0db4ef9e349c6431ebb6ad44acfe92/Canary-in-a-Garden-1644.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3f3ba50a621f14f18679d85f7e64cedc52142fb6bbc0ae5846db9f2a7251219/Canary-in-a-Garden-2.jpg" data-mid="215007671" border="0" alt="View of the coal power plant Niederau&szlig;em" data-caption="View of the coal power plant Niederaußem" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c3f3ba50a621f14f18679d85f7e64cedc52142fb6bbc0ae5846db9f2a7251219/Canary-in-a-Garden-2.jpg" /> Since 2017, I have been working on this topic in a combination of artistic documentary photography and journalistic research in order to depict its complexity and simultaneous emotionality. For the project, I combine large-format landscape photographs with anecdotal images, interviews and texts in two entangled chapters: <img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d835c95d451babac8eecfc104ded3f49e2263a7c8521f93e3334474d2022c725/Canary-in-a-Garden-2242.jpg" data-mid="215007690" border="0" alt="Pueblos Espejos, Communities pushed out of their land into newly built houses" data-caption="Pueblos Espejos, Communities pushed out of their land into newly built houses" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d835c95d451babac8eecfc104ded3f49e2263a7c8521f93e3334474d2022c725/Canary-in-a-Garden-2242.jpg" /> Pueblos Espejos (mirror villages) are villages built by the mining company El Cerrejón–which is owned by Glencore–for the indigenous population of La Guajira, the Wayuu, in order to expel them from their own land for the expansion of the El Cerrejón mine. Most of these villages do not have enough water, have no fertile soil and do not comply with the agreements previously made. They are examples of the systematic exploitation and control of the region, its population and ecosystems by the mining company. The chapter tells of the impact of mining in La Guajira, the history of the mirror villages, of violence, land theft and resistance and, at the same time, of concerns about what will happen after the mine closes.&nbsp; <img width="1440" height="1080" width_o="1440" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf9c6121d0d46bb95f41db85c046dd921faf668b115896e31f9ac804de1692fb/_DSF4170.jpg" data-mid="219230132" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf9c6121d0d46bb95f41db85c046dd921faf668b115896e31f9ac804de1692fb/_DSF4170.jpg" /> A canary in a mine is “something whose sensitivity to adverse conditions makes it a useful early indicator of such conditions; something which warns of the coming of greater danger or trouble by a deterioration in its health or welfare.” (Wikipedia)A Canary in a Garden is “something whose sensitivity to adverse conditions makes it a useful early indicator of such conditions; something” whose warnings “of the coming of greater danger or trouble by a deterioration in its health or welfare” are being ignored.

Human encroachment on nature has created new landscapes and irretrievably destroyed old ones. Still the giant teeth of the massive excavators dig deep into the earth, creating vast deserts while elsewhere the same deserts are being flooded creating Europe’s biggest artificial lake landscape. On its shores new destinations for tourists and local recreation areas are being created, waiting for tourists. State of the Region is an ongoing long-term photographic study of urban and rural spaces as natural and human habitats and the different processes of structural change that are shaping them. <img

10:12:56 +0000 marvinsystermans https://marvinsystermans.com/New-Living New Living Barranquilla, 2020, ongoing The New Living series is a body of work about the rhythm and structures of newly built upper-middle class neighborhoods rising up on the outskirts of Barranquilla.&nbsp; As I walked around the gated communities, I was overcome by a feeling of artificiality and isolation. The rhythm of these settlements seems to have sprung from a computer, cold and calculated, pragmatically following a purely economic benefit. Who lives here? What grows between the right angles, the elongated lines, the mirrored windows? A neighborhood? Relationships? Exchange? Encounters?The series examins photographically the concepts we base the creatinon of urban spaces on meant for our coexistence. The industrial production of living spaces, the alienation from our natural instincts when choosing our homes. <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ceaf01e2212848cf74fe6fed032408ae6bf45e1ab055f9c2bc5e4bde793d4b5/NEW_Living_01.jpg" data-mid="215091887" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ceaf01e2212848cf74fe6fed032408ae6bf45e1ab055f9c2bc5e4bde793d4b5/NEW_Living_01.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1620b89aeb18edf215840de6a9ddf94ababe4b947667895ca316daf8d3372d21/NEW_Living_19.jpg" data-mid="215091906" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1620b89aeb18edf215840de6a9ddf94ababe4b947667895ca316daf8d3372d21/NEW_Living_19.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cadfd324bfa6af57239bb8561ce7ebca7f0a998b4527bbd672df1241afc16fa6/NEW_Living_02.jpg" data-mid="215091888" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cadfd324bfa6af57239bb8561ce7ebca7f0a998b4527bbd672df1241afc16fa6/NEW_Living_02.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70b6124f0c5acd93e990ec492fcde78b5d022b0a3897ea9ed324b0fca69a02d1/NEW_Living_21.jpg" data-mid="215091908" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70b6124f0c5acd93e990ec492fcde78b5d022b0a3897ea9ed324b0fca69a02d1/NEW_Living_21.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ca48bc0f95436407f8fd05799a0a7ef7291c96b2423b248c4a5171867fe277b/NEW_Living_23.jpg" data-mid="215091910" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ca48bc0f95436407f8fd05799a0a7ef7291c96b2423b248c4a5171867fe277b/NEW_Living_23.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/264e960f5db75c52a794e3e1f13fb289a38d4e2952bc76b55e3c237d33f78f39/NEW_Living_17.jpg" data-mid="215091904" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/264e960f5db75c52a794e3e1f13fb289a38d4e2952bc76b55e3c237d33f78f39/NEW_Living_17.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/969093357ed03eb0c02f5677f224f34458209cbf6cc420418b11f986fd478814/NEW_Living_12.jpg" data-mid="215091899" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/969093357ed03eb0c02f5677f224f34458209cbf6cc420418b11f986fd478814/NEW_Living_12.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08f67a3ae62a7453261f0669dd291343c837d400420899e999b44410f924e7c6/NEW_Living_16.jpg" data-mid="215091903" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08f67a3ae62a7453261f0669dd291343c837d400420899e999b44410f924e7c6/NEW_Living_16.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e3aca97c828c814200d24b6521779e00296a8d9a1d82df15b1cc83d78feb00b/NEW_Living_07.jpg" data-mid="215091894" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e3aca97c828c814200d24b6521779e00296a8d9a1d82df15b1cc83d78feb00b/NEW_Living_07.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aaf64f08189c51fd219bcc2b82fb2cd8a5b9097baa4f7ed457c93ddddfd78130/NEW_Living_15.jpg" data-mid="215091902" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aaf64f08189c51fd219bcc2b82fb2cd8a5b9097baa4f7ed457c93ddddfd78130/NEW_Living_15.jpg" /> https://marvinsystermans.com/Letters-from-Nahariya Fri, 19 Jul 2024 10:12:55 +0000 marvinsystermans https://marvinsystermans.com/Letters-from-Nahariya Letters from Nahariya <img width="1440" height="1920" width_o="1440" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/725d7154200922563bac00fd046fb4110766ab6d0479b73e8b6943dbe7c41442/Letters-From-Nahariya-18.jpg" data-mid="214913029" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/725d7154200922563bac00fd046fb4110766ab6d0479b73e8b6943dbe7c41442/Letters-From-Nahariya-18.jpg" /> Letters from Nahariya is a photographic portrait of the Nahariya Kiez, a green-grey suburban settlement in the south of Berlin.The story of the Nahariya Kiez is told a little differently by each resident I meet. Some have found a retreat here from the hustle and bustle of the big city and tell me about a good neighborhood. Others are frustrated with its current state, tell me about how much it has changed and want to move away. Letters from Nahariya is a photographic examination of the Nahariya neighborhood in Lichtenrade on the edge of the metropolitan district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. I met with one of its initiators, residents from the first days and people who recently moved here. Liebe Ulrike,Zur Erinnerung an eine schöne und spannungsreiche Zeit der Zusammenarbeit.

While the series was on display around the neighborhood's central square, I had a chance to have many conversations and encounters with residents. The whole project was built around exchange and confrontation with the many different perspectives and experiences lived daily by both long-established residents and younger generations. In 2021 a Quartier-management was put in place to monitor the development of the neighborhood and have a positive impact through community activities. This is common in areas of the city that are in danger of developing into a “Brennpunkt” (places with for example an above average crime rate, high social tensions). The Letters from Nahariya project is on hold for now but may continue at some point in the future to reflect on how the neighborhood has changed. <img width="1920" height="1440" width_o="1920"

many parts of the world, especially fueled during the Corona pandemic. As it is still a relatively young industry, workers are often poorly paid and otherwise exploited, especially when working for larger corporations. The first trade unions have been forming since the late 2010s and are fighting for the protection of workers' rights. The body of work Pu Drop Repeat&nbsp;follows two sides of this fast developing form of labour. On the one side there are the food couriers working for companies such as Lieferando and Wolt who are struggling to unionize as the companies themselves have no interest in facilitating any infrastructure that would help to enforce workers' rights. One rider I talked to described his work as solitary, as he starts every shift from home and barely has any contact to other riders. The other side of the story are the self organized riders from the Khora collective (which since has stopped excisting), who often have a great passion for bicycle culture and who regularly meet after work or during their break. For them working as bicycle food couriers is part of an identity, forming a community that opposes the capitalistic concept of larger companies. <img width="3937" height="5897" width_o="3937"

Children play on a bouncy castle, elderly ladies sit chatting outside a café, an angler sits quietly on the banks of the Havel River. <img width="1920" height="1536" width_o="1920" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4de4c2dce9040f1febabdc5e910aaf308e445cab4aaedaa4fbf2fe459566cd83/_DSC3924.jpg" data-mid="215313536" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4de4c2dce9040f1febabdc5e910aaf308e445cab4aaedaa4fbf2fe459566cd83/_DSC3924.jpg" /> At five-minute intervals, airplanes roar close over the idle hustle and bustle on the ground.

So the final months of Tegel Airport turned into a bumpy landing after unprecedented years of mishaps and delays during the construction of BER airport which now replaces TXL. <img width="1920" height="1536" width_o="1920" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/186ced656f01aba5365f7e27fb87d45f9e3432e9b2426cda743f9812b7ae9d80/_DSC3803.jpg" data-mid="215313535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/186ced656f01aba5365f7e27fb87d45f9e3432e9b2426cda743f9812b7ae9d80/_DSC3803.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1536" width_o="1920" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a98203d32715f743fa8a65eb2c7b02db882e42043c245adf2e49fced544b5cc/_DSC3034.jpg" data-mid="215313534" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a98203d32715f743fa8a65eb2c7b02db882e42043c245adf2e49fced544b5cc/_DSC3034.jpg" /> It took 14 years to complete BER, which was supposed to replace TXL as the capital's airport much earlier. By contrast, Tegel, then a military airport, had been built in just 90 days. Originally built for 2.5 million passengers per year, TXL most recently carried up to 20 million passengers. <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58189e5c39ee663a3a17574f26d911fce02680480a696f87c85913eb3002c691/_DSC2205.jpg" data-mid="215313533" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58189e5c39ee663a3a17574f26d911fce02680480a696f87c85913eb3002c691/_DSC2205.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="1920" width_o="1280" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8709da0c5575862ef453b0b3ad7e13cb26186acb036529108fec2a0e5e5f2e3d/_DSC0899.jpg" data-mid="215313524" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8709da0c5575862ef453b0b3ad7e13cb26186acb036529108fec2a0e5e5f2e3d/_DSC0899.jpg" /> <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bc5ddea3b1393f257a78736064046c1902102ff07aef9f9fa60470b98537fad/_DSC2085.jpg" data-mid="215313532" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bc5ddea3b1393f257a78736064046c1902102ff07aef9f9fa60470b98537fad/_DSC2085.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="1920" width_o="1280" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8942c93c2b8a7a6ae312563ca756ad3ef2e5faf0b47a8b892c5243c747d7dea9/_DSC2043.jpg" data-mid="215313531" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8942c93c2b8a7a6ae312563ca756ad3ef2e5faf0b47a8b892c5243c747d7dea9/_DSC2043.jpg" /> While working on the photo series TXL, Last Call Berlin, I was not interested in the airport itself, but in its immediate surroundings. I repeatedly roamed through the neighborhoods on foot in the summer of 2018. In the process, I first focussed on the question of what relationship people and the city have to the omnipresent air traffic. The photographs show seemingly fleeting encounters between the people in the urban spaces on the ground and the machines hanging heavy in the sky. <img width="1920" height="1536" width_o="1920" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4ee0498a8a1ec2ca869a93566b7550482ea0a7ea9a73b5f648e46825b8c7fe6/_DSC7902.jpg" data-mid="215313540" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4ee0498a8a1ec2ca869a93566b7550482ea0a7ea9a73b5f648e46825b8c7fe6/_DSC7902.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="1920" width_o="1280" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d25332ca65c40489fdb6ca1c55a3a89c91cc08671b49e8baabec3ea75162462/_DSC6872.jpg" data-mid="215313539" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8d25332ca65c40489fdb6ca1c55a3a89c91cc08671b49e8baabec3ea75162462/_DSC6872.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ef475bb4398ed16f5ef0716bfad6d0a651a2c40d5c853455e0befa5a406c5a9/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9294.jpg" data-mid="215319127" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ef475bb4398ed16f5ef0716bfad6d0a651a2c40d5c853455e0befa5a406c5a9/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9294.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdd45f9e9433968240cc6bef88b74617039c341e8a03ac5fde1f14b08a4be957/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9331.jpg" data-mid="215319129" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdd45f9e9433968240cc6bef88b74617039c341e8a03ac5fde1f14b08a4be957/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9331.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="3000" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8245992325707a8e763e35225c25cde71aba6b5cda53292d43cf8c0ba1b94ab9/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9403.jpg" data-mid="215319130" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8245992325707a8e763e35225c25cde71aba6b5cda53292d43cf8c0ba1b94ab9/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9403.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d76bd900a4ca33ced56ab716a2f1c8b31e394854b218e4f12e246161118052ca/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9405.jpg" data-mid="215319131" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d76bd900a4ca33ced56ab716a2f1c8b31e394854b218e4f12e246161118052ca/Vonovia-Award-2021_Ausstellung-Bochum-9405.jpg" /> Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Bochum, 2021.Vonovia Award für Fotografie “Zuhause”.“Was bedeuten Wohnen und Leben heute – im urbanen Umfeld, auf dem Land, im sozialen Kontext und in der Community?

Those who could afford it left their homes only for essential purchases. To make ends meet, many people resorted to selling goods and services walking from door to door, doing so despite the curfew, risking heavy fines, exposed to possible infections with Covid, without health insurance or any government aid to fall back on and under a scorching hot sun. <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f9ba2af557dc744a3d0abc7f7d5a991370f66c8bafb3cadf5d24e62e8dfdf92/15_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" data-mid="215801453" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f9ba2af557dc744a3d0abc7f7d5a991370f66c8bafb3cadf5d24e62e8dfdf92/15_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" /> <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3afeea4ef58130008b52eabd4bb976cc8158da71f332cf6a82cb9b9bc7b2f299/09_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" data-mid="215801442" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3afeea4ef58130008b52eabd4bb976cc8158da71f332cf6a82cb9b9bc7b2f299/09_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" /> <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/781c69d440e9486cb95363f26b46f63eb4fa73bac1c38e4db918f341bfd60fc0/08_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" data-mid="215801441" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/781c69d440e9486cb95363f26b46f63eb4fa73bac1c38e4db918f341bfd60fc0/08_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" /> Street vendors have always roamed the streets of Barranquilla.

In that time each of us only left the house five times taking a cab to the supermarket and back. The street vendors were often our only real contact with the outside world. So apart from documenting our daily life in lockdown we decided to work on the project "Echando Pa'lante" to document and give visibility to the many people risking so much to make ends meet. The portraits are testimonies to their hardship during the pandemic, which is symptomatic of many problems that go far beyond the then corona crisis in the country. At the same time they are also testimonies to the strength and resourcefulness with which the vendedores &nbsp;face the difficulties that had been exacerbated by the pandemic.The series comments on the sometimes bizarre and often times frustrating experience and is part of a group of works documenting this global phenomenon („Temporarily Closed“, „Pu, Drop, Repeat“, „Echando Pa’lante“ and „Toque de Queda“). <img width="1282" height="1920" width_o="1282" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e57d29cc2becfd52936897dfcba4683d5bdec13b050e756b7efbaab919d98e07/06_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" data-mid="215801437" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e57d29cc2becfd52936897dfcba4683d5bdec13b050e756b7efbaab919d98e07/06_Echando-pa-lante.jpg" /> https://marvinsystermans.com/Toque-de-Queda Mon, 05 Aug 2024 19:57:56 +0000 marvinsystermans https://marvinsystermans.com/Toque-de-Queda Toque de Queda <img width="961" height="1440" width_o="961" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bac6010b2e04f4d44a870e88c8b0fe34b706c8e81bcfdfb342247bac6770edf8/10_Toque_de_Queda_Galofre_Systermans.jpg" data-mid="215917703" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/961/i/bac6010b2e04f4d44a870e88c8b0fe34b706c8e81bcfdfb342247bac6770edf8/10_Toque_de_Queda_Galofre_Systermans.jpg" /> During the nationwide strickt curfews at the start of the Corona pandemic in 2020, in Colombia every person had a different experience depending on social status, personal situation, health, economical standing and other factors, and yet most of us experienced similar sensations as well. Uncertainty, Anxiety, the distortion of what we perceive as time, social isolation and more. Items like masks, desinfectant, gloves or soap became omnipresent in almost everyone’s life and will forever be connected to the pandemic for everyone who experienced it. <img width="1080"

a collaboration with the artist and photographer Raisa Galofre. Together we experienced the first strict lockdown at her families house which we were not able to leave during four months. During this long time each of us was allowed to go to the supermarket 4 to 5 times by taxi alone and had to return immediately. The series comments on the sometimes bizarre and often times frustrating experience and is part of a group of works documenting this global phenomenon („Temporarily Closed“, „Pu, Drop, Repeat“, „Echando Pa’lante“ and „Toque de Queda“). <img width="961" height="1440" width_o="961" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f86302c01c202ab9de6abfc762a465bdd252261b34e0e7c94029aaa238e189a/04_Toque_de_Queda_Galofre_Systermans.jpg" data-mid="215917697" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/961/i/9f86302c01c202ab9de6abfc762a465bdd252261b34e0e7c94029aaa238e189a/04_Toque_de_Queda_Galofre_Systermans.jpg" />
