Jordi Huisman - Rear Window Amsterdam #1

I’m a documentary and editorial photographer from The Hague. Working worldwide for magazines, advertisement agencies, architects and commercial clients. Next to that I make personal projects like Rear Window, for which I have been photographing the rear view of buildings all over the world since 2010.
Amsterdam was the first city I captured for the series.

In urban planning, architects often pay great attention to the design of a building's front, while the rear is overlooked.

Rear views of homes in older cities often evolve more organically, as neat layouts are disrupted by encroaching greenery. A balcony might host a large satellite dish while an adjacent landing serves as storage space. In Southeast Asia, air conditioning units form their own façade; in Northern Europe, a Christmas tree planted in a courtyard has grown into a massive obstacle.

This series explores the backs of buildings in metropolises worldwide, revealing international differences and the resulting global chaos.

This is an Epson print, mounted on dibond. The print is framed in an 100% oak wood frame. It has been used for an exhibition before but is in very good state.
Amsterdam #1 at 100x80cm has an edition of 10, of which 4 have been sold. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and is signed on the back.
