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.

The presentation explores how perspective is not only a photographic condition, but can also become a physical and spatial experience. Within the context of the museum, the image shifts from representation to intervention, redefining the relationship between viewer, architecture and city. In this way, Perforated Perspective shows how Wilschut uses photography to generate a tension between perception, construction and spatial imagination.
