The 3 dimensional work of Rommert Boonstra (NL)
"Fixing self-created dream worlds, that's where the mystery lies for me."
"Fitting together memories, dreams and thoughts to form a fragile and magnificent building that exists only through the goodwill of light. Conjuring art out of a piece of apparatus that functions as a magic wand as well as a machine. A form of beauty is born. Perhaps it is true that beauty has burnt her face, as a Dutch poet suggested, but this has only made her more graceful. Beauty has to be mauldy, decayed, slightly dangerous. Otherwise all that is left is aesthetics. Except for the landscape the kitchen is one of the sacred spots of my soul. Nowhere the fleeting existence of life is emphasized more. Nature changes into dead food and this food serves to keep me alive. But often things that were intended to disappear into my stomach get into my photographs. An artichoke can be more moving to me than Michelangelo's David and a carrot can be as seductive as the Botticelli Venus."
