Bart Lunenburg – Driftwoods

From the wooden foundations beneath Amsterdam, extending upstream to rural timber traditions in the German Rhineland, 'Driftwoods' presents the artistic research of Bart Lunenburg, foregrounding the featured photographic series ‘Nocturnes’. Through a textual and visual essay that touches upon architectural excavation, medieval timber frames, colour archaeology, rural shadows, and abandoned tools, 'Driftwoods' reflects on the relations between local wooden architecture and the landscapes that supply their materials. Lunenburg introduces us to the seemingly disappearing knowledge and traditions that still shape the landscapes and houses we inhabit.
