The Duration Of Elsewhere

The Duration of Elsewhere brings photography and video together in an exhibition about a slower rhythm of looking and experiencing. Especially in the urban environment, Hans Wilschut searches for ways to give attention to what unfolds in public space. His images often take just a little more time, and within the everyday there remains a persistent sense of longing for another place.

Eleven Cities

From 2018, thirteen works by Hans Wilschut can be seen in the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden. On behalf of the museum, the landscape photographer took photos of the Frisian eleven cities and Drachten and Heerenveen. Wilschut was inspired by old sketches and drawings from the collection of the Fries Museum. These old prints and drawings can be seen together with the photos in De Eleven Cities. In the 17th and especially in the 18th century, draftsmen walked through Friesland to put the appearance of cities, villages, streets and important buildings on paper. Until the advent of photography, the urban landscape was captured in this way.

This Is Hallstatt, Kein Museum!

The tiny village of Hallstatt in Austria is Instafamous. Before COVID-19, it was annually flooded by millions of tourists, mostly from Asia. Armed with smartphones, tablets, drones and selfie sticks, they all came to shoot the exact same pictures of this photogenic Alpine hamlet. Wedged between snowy mountains and a glistening lake, the village looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Non Static Architectural Encounters

Nine Photographers

With his contribution to Negen fotografen at the WTC Rotterdam Art Gallery, Hans Wilschut presents his work alongside Dicky Brand, Rubén Dario Kleimeer, Ossip van Duivenbode, Loes van Duijvendijk, Jannes Linders, Janine Schrijver, Frans Verschoor, and Sander van Wettum. Together, these photographers show how Rotterdam’s tradition of architectural and landscape photography continues to evolve.

3 in Beeld

3 in Beeld takes place in 2018 in the former V&D department store in the centre of Alphen aan den Rijn. On invitation from Cultuurpalet, work by Ellen Kooi, Gerco de Ruijter and Hans Wilschut is brought together by curator Cees Verboom. The exhibition is staged in a temporarily available building in the middle of the city, which means the presentation is closely shaped by the vacancy, the scale of the site and its public character.

Perforated Perspective

In Perforated Perspective, Hans Wilschut creates a spatial intervention at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in which photography and architecture are experienced in direct relation to one another. At the centre is a monumental work depicting Nanjing, composed of two telephoto images that merge into a single view. Through its precise alignment with the proportions of the stairwell wall, the work acquires an architectural presence, creating the impression that the surface opens onto a distant urban space.
