Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Traces of a City in Motion: Three Photographic Perspectives on a Changing Amsterdam at Amsterdam Centre for Architecture (ARCAM) in Amsterdam
This exhibition presents three distinct photographic perspectives on the constant transformation of Amsterdam. Through the work of Herman Wouters, Karlijn van Diepen, and Wouter Zaalberg, it explores how urban spaces and the communities inhabiting them evolve over time.
Amsterdam is a city in perpetual flux, where urban landscapes are continuously reshaped, ports redefine their functions, and new communities emerge at the city's edges. The exhibition 'Traces of a City in Motion' brings together photographers Herman Wouters, Karlijn van Diepen, and Wouter Zaalberg to document these layers of change. Through their respective lenses, they capture not only the physical transformation of the built environment but also the social dimensions of those living within it. Herman Wouters focuses on the 'in-between' spaces of the city, documenting the temporal nature of monuments and everyday structures. Karlijn van Diepen turns her attention to the fringes, such as Nieuw-West and Weesp, highlighting the connection between residents and their evolving environments. Meanwhile, Wouter Zaalberg’s project 'A Better Port' examines the Port of Amsterdam’s transition away from fossil fuels, capturing the resilience and shifting character of this major industrial area. Together, these bodies of work invite visitors to consider the city as a living, breathing entity.
Tickets can be purchased online through the official ARCAM ticket portal. Admission is €5.00 for adults, €2.50 for students, and free for visitors under 18 years, individuals with disabilities, and holders of an I Amsterdam City Card.
