The paper band holds together an accordion of images. As I touch the paper, I am moved by this small gesture of art. The gift makes me smile, I feel like receiving a love letter.

Hoofwijk’s On a Monday I walked on the same Earth as you demonstrates such an attitude of walking and thinking that enables us – both artist and spectator – to acknowledge, express, experience and resonate (with) certain elements of the current situation, that cannot be grasped in concepts or even words. It reveals how we are condemned to slowly move, in order to cope with the motionlessness of the societal situation.
