sicko | and found

Republished on flickr the series and found. Made in 2002 on the island of Terschelling, I wandered the beaches with Robin and noticed how many primary needs can be found, discarded, left, lost ... and found.

Alles Ordelijk. Evertyhing in Order. That was Pake Atze’s motto as you would find it in his Ex Libris. I got to know this motto as his grandson. As a little anarchist and natural chaotic I would be fascinated by the way he administered our family as if it was a parish or a borough. You’d also see the typical AO-logo on other personal items, such as the suitcases of my well-regulated granddad. It is ironic that this A in an O has been the symbol of anarchism since the turmoil of the Spanish civil war. I’ve never told this to Pake, but his astute sense for order and structure has found a well cherished place in my life.
