[Artwork highlight] In our exhibition ‘Encounter’ at the Pop-up in Nijmegen, we are presenting, among others, works by Henk Wildschut, whose practice is known for its contemplative and observant view of people and their environments.
The works on view, taken from his series on refugee camps, reveal how even in the most temporary and vulnerable conditions, the need for a sense of home persists. While visiting camps across the world, Wildschut became fascinated by the small gardens created around tents - universal symbols of hope, resilience, and humanity.
Through his carefully balanced photography, he invites viewers to pause, reflect, and consider what it means to create a place of belonging in uncertain times.
Works: (1) Henk Wildschut, 'Zaatari Camp, Jordan — April 2018', 2018 & Henk Wildschut, 'Peas (Pisum sativum), Calais, France — July 2016', 2016 , (2) Henk Wildschut, 'Bar Elias, Beqaa, Lebanon — May 2017', 2017
