30 April 2006 | Photographs by Daphne Bom and Ximena Davalos

 

12h30 | Sunday 30 April 2006 in Rotterdam.
Not a protest, not a demonstration? No, just being a "street artist" and team, for a day.

How to claim the space needed to interact with the passers-by in front of the City Hall, on the Coolsingel in Rotterdam? A yellow sheet that serves as a versatile form of project branding, to blanket around any vertical street object eg: tram-pole or tree-trunk (see A00 and B00 pictures). The project plan is printed onto the sheet and positioned at eye-level. Itzia joins, armed with italian lunch and poses on the city hall steps, for the first portrait.

The city hall location, is too vacant. We moved down from the stadhuis, towards the McDonald's. A perfect location, with plenty of vacant/passing public. The perfect spot: a raised flower bed, with plastic grass, and a shady dappled tree. Itzia, Alegandra, Marina and Xime, scouted the public for models and motivated the cause. They also took the opportunity to model; for 3 minutes a portrait.

The format: a postcard. The media: coloured felt-tip or black india ink and brush. Critique: what's missing to re-touche. A frame: optional. The PLAN: months later, to follow the portrait home with a photographer and much later, to organise an exhibition with the material generated.

Also featured in the photographs are Piti Davalos and her grand-kids.
