Reconstruction exhibit by Ruth van Beek at Foam. Van Beek collects random snapshots, passport photos, slides etc, folds them & cuts them to give the material new meaning. Van Beek treats the photos as objects. She cuts open the once treasured pictures and rearranges them to find what she thinks is the story behind the photo. The resulting image is a credible picture of something that never existed. Love the Dutch artists....look up Erwin Warum for more quirky Dutch art.
