1st Feb 2012, Bijlmerparktheater, Amsterdam
15 min walk in freezing wind from the Bijlmer metro station. On the stage of the theater auditorium hangs the work called Panorama Heesterveld 2010-2011 of the artist Taatske Pieterson. It is a photo panoramamade of photographed passersby, each one of them photographed separately in different season of the year. All from the Bijlmer neighborhood, all posed with their face to the camera. The artist assembles them in to a one 360° collagepanorama.
Like the known artist Jeff Wall, she casted the figures, like Jeff Wall she can be blamed in “total control”. Only in this case the figures are “stars” only for few days and only in this panorama. Taatske Pieterson create a new look to people who live here, very close, 15 min walk from the Bijlmer metro station.
