Academie voor Media Art & Peformance klas 2011/2012

DE JEUGD VAN TEGENWOORDIG

Het begon...

Het begon allemaal met een brief naar onze ouders. Zij moesten erop geattendeerd worden dat hun kinders binnenkort op pad zouden gaan voor een 24 uurs opdracht. Met het verzoek dit niet met hun zoon of dochter te bespreken. Fotografen moeten natuurlijk met het onverwachtse om kunnen gaan. Nou zijn er van die ouders die niets ge-heim kunnen houden, die van mij bijvoorbeeld.

Na een paar weken kwam dan eindelijk het verlossende bericht. Om 12 uur zou er een briefing op de mail staan. Mijn klas (3fa) zat toen in een les DBB. Zodra het om architectuur bleek te gaan, vloog iedereen omhoog, om vervolgens met zijn allen naar Harry te sprinten voor een groothoeklens. De grootste paniek was er vanwege het Engelse sollicitatiegesprek met mensen van Unesco. Als je daar niet door-heen kwam, mocht je tenslotte niet mee en werd je naar huis gebracht.

00:00 : Bij de aankomst op school was het een slagveld van tassen. Het leek wel alsof we een week op vakantie gingen. Alle spullen in de bus geladen en daar gingen we dan. Op weg naar Unesco, waar behalve het sollicitatie gesprek, ook een heuse blaastest ons te wachten stond. Aangekomen op bestemming bleek Unesco het oude Jeroen Bosch ziekenhuis, en de mensen van Unesco Ruurd en Christien, tot onze grote opluchting.Gelukkig iedereen geslaagd. De reis naar Duitsland kon beginnen.

02:00 : Aankomst Bochum. Louis besloot per trap naar boven te gaan ( 5 stuks maar liefst ) en het fotograferen kon beginnen. Doodse stilte op het terrein, opperste concentratie, fotograferen in het donker is geen makkie. 10 foto’s, een enge junk en een geestverschijning later zaten we weer in de bus op weg naar bestemming 2.

06:00 : Aankomst Zollverein, industrieel gebied van tig hectare groot. Opnieuw werden we los gelaten. De vermoeidheid begon op te spelen en het was ook nog eens koud. Toch moet je presteren, dus besloten ik en mijn groepje maar overal op en in te klimmen. Spannend, want dat mocht niet overal. Tevreden met het resul-taatliepen we terug naar de bus, denkend dat we alles gehad hadden. Met verward haar, uitgelopen make-up en wallen tot onze knieën mocten we nog gezellig met zijn allen op de foto. Leuk! 11:00 : Op de terugreis naar school lag bijna iedereen te slapen. De buschauffeur moest tussendoor nog even stoppen om te bellen. Ik weet niet of het aan mijn vermoeidheid lag maar volgens mij was er iets niet goed met zijn kippen? Aangekomen op school hadden we nog tot 16:30 de tijd om alle beelden te bewerken en in te leve-ren. Ondanks dat iedereen gaar op een stoel zat, of op de grond lag was het best gezellig zo met z’n allen.

Kortom ; een vermoeiende maar ook zeer leerzame en vooral leuke ervaring. Voor herhaling vatbaar als je het mij vraagt. Al weet ik niet of iedereen dat met me eens is ;)

All this is built on the grounds of a former steel industry. The industrial use of the area started 1842 with the Mayerschen cast steel factory. The history of the area is literally stored in diffrent layers. Erevy nem development was built on top of the old one.

Eventually after the closure of the production almost all buildings where demolished and the industrial wasteland that remained was covered with spontaneous vegetation.
