Parallel Universe - Bas Fontein & Henjo Hekman
Poet, writer and musician Henjo Hekman has a collection of around 2,500 "parallel cards", i.e. postcards in which the same images are used several times, but refer to different places. Conceptual artist Bas Fontein, whose work focuses on collections of text and images, stumbled across part of this collection in a hotel on the Dutch island of Terschelling. With Hekman's permission, he used these parallel maps to create the panoramas presented in this publication - idyllic vacation spots, beaches, sunsets and natural sites along the Dutch coast that have unwittingly become the manufactured by-product of tourism, both everywhere and nowhere.
