Amsterdam - Eating in public places
‘Eating in Public Places’, was shot in
Amsterdam and focuses on the social context of eating. Not the eating itself is here important, but the diversity and interacting of people while they are eating. ‘Amsterdam Eating’ is an idea of Wessels and was commissioned in 1994 by Amsterdam’s Fonds voor de Kunst and Municipal Archives of Amsterdam. This series has been exposed and published in several ways i.e. Amsterdam’s Historisch Museum, as a weekly supplement in the nationwide Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad and in the book ‘Dutch Eyes, A critical history of photography in the Netherlands'(2007).
