This
photo installation consisting of two large photographs was made for the Ronald
McDonald Kinderfonds Sport Centre for handicapped children and teenagers in
Amsterdam.
Handicapped youngsters were photographed in situations in which their bodies can temporarily give up restrictions in relation to gravity. In one image we see the youngsters caught as they jump into the water, while in the other they jump on a large inflatable bouncer. In both of these pictures the progression of time is captured in a single encompassing image by stitching different instants of time together.
The freedom which is expressed in the freely propelled bodies temporarily cancels the difference which separates the disabled youngsters from their able bodied contemporaries.
