Binnen Bantammerstraat. 1972-73. Photographer: Ab Koers

International Institue of Social History, Chinatown Amsterdam:

In 1972, Chinatown in Amsterdam was photographed by Ab Koers. The IISG received this photo collection in 2006. Ab Koers originally took these photographs in and around the Binnen Bantammerstraat for a reportage, which appeared in the magazine Avenue in 1973. This reportage, made together with journalist Nico Polak, was characterised as ’stunning and outstanding’ in the book De rafelrand van Amsterdam (The frayed edges of Amsterdam). In this 1977 publication, the Chinese minority were labelled as ‘not easily approachable’.

Kosmograd, 121 images of Mies:

“At auction house Jeschke, Hauff & Auvermann in Berlin, on November 13th 2007 is an auction of 123 photographs from the prewar ouevre of Mies van der Rohe. Now my understanding is that Mies was notoriously restrictrive about images of his work being distributed and published, so these are a real find.”

“What was supposed to be a spontaneous approach to my favourite sport and its protogonists during the Giro d’Italia 205 turned out to be one of my most challenging portrait series.

Since then I have been travelling to many important races, portraying the cyclist immediatley after crossing the finishing line. Though they stand still, the race, in this moment, seems to continue on their faces.”

“Every winter between 11 November and 2 February the sun fails to rise above the slopes of the Alps and the North Italian village of Viganella (population 203) is completely in shadow. The village, that is situated at the end of a narrow valley beside a 20-kilometre road that extends to the Swiss Alps is suffering from a population exodus. Residents of Viganella and the neighboring villages who face the same problem blame the lack of sunlight in winter for Seasonal Affective Disorders.
