Interview
Pf #1, 2023
Martin Roemers werkt meerdere jaren aan projecten die altijd uitmonden in een boek of tentoonstelling. Hij gaf negen boeken uit en zijn werk is over de hele wereld in toonaangevende musea geëxposeerd, vaak op de plaats waar het project tot stand kwam. Zijn serie Metropolis, over de groei van de stad, is maar liefst veertig keer geëxposeerd in solo- en groepstentoonstellingen over de hele wereld. Zijn marketingstrategie mag uiterst succesvol genoemd worden. Hoe pakt hij het aan?

‘Relics of the Cold War‘
19 January – 15 August 2020
Museum de Fundatie laat de fotoserie Relics of the Cold War van Martin Roemers zien. Hij fotografeerde tussen 1998 en 2009 de in verval geraakte fysieke resten van de Koude Oorlog, vanuit de gedachte dat die grimmige periode voorgoed geschiedenis zou zijn. De serie krijgt een beangstigende actualiteit nu de oude tegenstellingen weer lijken te herleven.
