puzzle (6090 pieces)

Installation view,  Noorderlicht Fotofestival Groningen, 2021

The large-format picture (70 cm × 87 cm) was assembled from individual puzzle pieces. This created a unique work, which was exhibited on the floor of the exhibition space.The large-format image was printed directly onto an aluminum plate. Each piece of the puzzle is 1 cm x 1 cm. The entire image consists of 6090 puzzle pieces. The inner (bomb-shaped) part consists of 665 puzzle pieces. This gives the total size of the final image. The choice of printing on aluminum refers to the submunition of a cluster bomb used in Laos, which is also made of aluminum.
The number of inner bomb-shaped puzzle pieces, 665, also refers to the same submunition.
