Exhibition: ‘Ice Edge – IJsgrens’
Photo Project Anja de Jong
Dordrechts Museum, Dordrecht
Opening of the exhibition:
Sunday 17 april 2011 at 4 pm. by the author Jan Brokken
The actual reason for the small and personal project Ice Edge – IJsgrens was a photograph from 1955 in Anja de Jong’s family album. It shows her father, Pieter de Jong, engineer on a small coaster, next to the ship on the ice of the Isefjord in Denmark. The ship, the Depa, lies frozen and is waiting for an icebreaker. On two identical sea journeys to the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia in 2008 and 2009, De Jong took photographs of the sea in different atmospheric conditions and was in search of the ice edge, As a result of climate change, the ice edge in normal years is now much further north than at the time of my father’s voyage.The underlying idea of the project is climate change. But the series mostly ‘pays tribute to the sea’.
Collector’s item:
At the opening a special designed folder by Vincent van Baar with 3 signed and numbered photos from ‘Ice Edge – IJsgrens’ by De Jong is presented.

For the first time the complete project ‘Berlin’s Covered History’ will be exhibited. This project looks at the history of the European continent with which one is unavoidably confronted in Berlin. Through image and title, De Jong links specific sites in today’s Berlin spots with historical events that took place in the last century. Events during WW II and during the period of separation of East and West Berlin. Besides ‘Moldova’s Water’ will be shown. A search for water in Moldova, Europe’s forgotten, and poorest country.
