Laure-Anne Vermaercke – NG-1983-1

By Laure-Anne Vermaercke, translated by Laura Vroomen

Eighteen young authors have brought nineteenth-century artefacts from the Rijksmuseum to life. They have taken inspiration from the question: what do you see when you look at these objects with an eye for invisible labour? Laure-Anne Vermaercke invites us to take a very close look at the Diorama of the Zeezigt Coffee and Cotton Plantation, made by Gerrit Schouten in c. 1815 – c. 1821. ‘A miniature world made on commission.’
