ANNA KORTEWEG

(Closer for one hour and fourteen minutes), a series of 18 watercolors, 10 x 12 cm each, 2014.

Watercolors painted from live webcam images, from a street in Mar del Plata, Argentina, on June 12, 2014. This work is an attempt to bridge the gap - in time and space - between myself, at that time living in Amsterdam, and a city in Argentina where I lived in the past. The series reflect on my desire to re-live the memory I had of this place in Argentina, and in particular of a street that I crossed many times, as directly as possible.
