relationship between place, memory and identity. In many of his projects, he engages local communities in finding new ways of representing their history, memory, and potential futures, and explores how contemporary media may be used to re-imagine new relationships between space, time, place and identity. He is particularly concerned with issues of loss, communal trauma and the potential for regeneration.
The mixed media pictures he creates are in a way alienating. They show hidden, historical layers, they tell a story. I found Attie's pictures fascinating and beautiful. They are all very gloomy, obscure images, and i like that a lot!
