Treffend! Wapke was hier  (ENG / NL)
while shooting pictures Wapke walked a text on the street pattern of The Hague

access: website Treffend!

‘Treffend! Wapke was hier’ (Striking! Wapke was here) took eight days of walking through The Hague; each day a few letters of the text “Wapke was hier” (Wapke was here) were covered afoot. Meanwhile the surroundings were photographed. The next walk started after those letters had been put online. Small stickers with the text “Treffend! Uw straat staat op het web” (Striking! Your street is on the web) were thereupon put in the mailboxes of the residents of the streets covered, and here and there a lamppost was ‘fly posted’.

(The website was designed with Ariënne Boelens.)

Er waren acht dagen wandelen door Den Haag nodig om de letters van de tekst “Wapke was hier” af te leggen. Al wandelend werd de omgeving gefotografeerd en na een dag wandelen werden de beelden online gezet. Nadat de gehele tekst was gelopen en online gezet, werden kleine stickers met de tekst “Treffend! Uw straat staat op het web” in de brievenbussen van de bewoners gedaan en af en toe op een hekje of paal geplakt.

De website is ontworpen met Ariënne Boelens.
