Wat blijft komt nooit terug

Op 6 mei 2006 de dag na bevrijdingsdag en de opening van mijn Solo tentoonstelling in Galerie 21/de Meerminnen liet ik mijn vrouw het middeleeuse centrum van mijn geboortestad Dordrecht zien. Op de Voorstraat kon ik het niet laten Boekhandel deBengel even binnen te gaan. Ik kwam daar vaak als scholier. Goede boeken voor weinig geld en de juiste sfeer voor een puber-Gymnasiast. Het was een prachtige zonnige zaterdag. Er heerste een feestelijke stemming. Vlak na mij betrad de dichter Jan Eijkelboom de boekhandel. Zijn dagelijkse gang om de NRC te halen. Ik wachte hem buiten op en vroeg of ik een foto van hem mocht maken. Ik vertelde dat ik hem in Rotterdam rond 1980 regelmatig in het neon verlichte cafe het Schouwtje had ontmoet met de andere drinkende redactieleden van Het Vrije Volk. Ook citeerde ik een prachtig fragment van van zijn mistgedicht over de Wolwevershaven dat ik uit mijn hoofd kende. Hij werd verlegen en poseerde geduldig met een enigszins droeve vermoeide blik. Onderwijl kreeg op mijn kop van mijn vrouw die zei dat elke amateur weet dat je geen portretten in de volle zon moest maken. Toch wilde ik hem in de volle zon en hij deed vriendelijk gewillig wat ik vroeg. Ik maakte een paar foto´s, hij beloofde mijn expositie te bezoeken en ieder ging zijns weegs. De foto heb ik altijd gekoesterd en krijgt nu zijn plaats als een klein eerbetoon.
Dag Jan, dank je voor je warme zachtmoedige regels. Trots van Dordrecht ..

Encumbered Memo´s for Bosnia (Sarajevo Festival Winter 2008)

Encumbered Memo´s for Bosnia - Sarajevo 2008
Paul Donker Duyvis

This project is part of XXIV International Festival Sarajevo, Winter 7.2. - 21.3. 2008. Visual Identity:

Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World

The theme „Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World" opens up the question of dialogue between different generations which participated, each in their own way, in creating a new world while destroying the barricades between their dreams, their goals and the world which surrounds them and in which they live. Every generation is confronted with the same experience: that in front and behind them stand barricades without borders. The creation of a new world means life in a "brave world...

Going to Bosnia and Sarajevo as an invited Artist for the Festival 2008 makes me aware of a deep but hidden feeling of collective guilt about what happened in Srebrenica. The Srebrenica Genocide, was the July 1995 killing of an estimated 8,000 Bosnian boys and men, who were supposed to be fully protected by the Dutch Army and the UN troops. But the International Organisations let the Massacre happen in front of their eyes.

The Srebrenica massacre is the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II. Theodor Meron: By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims [Bosniaks], the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity.

February 2008 Sarajevo

10 Conversations with Bosnians about a sad and shameful memory:
Sebrenica and Dutchbat.
To be clear: the Srebrenica massacre: " Dutch soldiers let 300 Muslims die"  as the Newspaper the Guardian stated.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/28/dutch-soldiers-let-300-muslims-die-in-bosnian-war-court-rules
All conversations -part of my contribution to Sarajevo Winter festival 2008- were private, not recorded, very emotional, and witnessed by Hungarian artist Jozsef Biro.


All Bosnian people I met, hold Whole Europe responsible for this massacre,
and do not only blame the small Dutch group of soldiers, who did not get any help from other UN troops. In their eyes whole Europe was guilty.
After each conversation I asked o donate me a small object to use in my Installation in the Turkish Cultural Center: "Encumbered Memo"s"

The Memo´s for Bosnia were daily Ceremonies, Performances, Installations, Meditations and Conversations with the Public about the recent war done at different historical locations in the Public Domain of Sarajevo: The Market, The main Mosque, the Synagogue, the Old Orthodox Church and the Turkish Cultural Center.
This project was part of the Exhibition “Encumbered” by Nine Dragon Heads Artists group, curated by Park Byoung Uk in Turkish Cultural Center, 6-11 February 2008 Sarajevo

I am still working to finish my Sarajevo project.
For me it was quite emotional.
It affected me a lot...

Thanks:
- Park Byoung Uk - Curator
- Nine Dragon Heads Foundation
- Denizhan Ozer and Yula Shin (additional photography)
- Gordana Andelic and Biró József
- Yoko Kajio for inviting me to make a painting for her
- Mr. Wadja, Priest of the Old Orthodox Church Sarajevo

- and all the anonymous persons who participated in my project by telling me their private and emotional stories. Each story is symbolised by their small gifts for the Memo Installations in Sarajevo.
None of the meetings and conversations were recorded on audio, video or photo for reasons of intimacy and integrity.

Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World-XXIV INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL SARAJEVO 7.2. - 21.3. 2008.

Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World

XXIV INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL SARAJEVO, SARAJEVO WINTER 7.2. - 21.3. 2008. VISUAL IDENTITY
International Peace Center

The theme „Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World" opens up the question of dialogue between different generations which participated, each in their own way, in creating a new world while destroying the barricades between their dreams, their goals and the world which surrounds them and in which they live. Every generation is confronted with the same experience: that in front and behind them stand barricades without borders. The creation of a new world means life in a "brave world." Through the art of life, at the Festival we will explore the relationship between the generation of the second half of the twentieth century from the time of the student unrest in 1968 up to today. Through urban communication of artists, the general public, and historians with their contemporary problems/interests we will seek the key point of their encounter. The festival will be held within the framework of the year of European inter-cultural dialogue and in a special way will be linked to the encounters of Euro-Mediterranean creators. In accordance with tradition, the festival in its first week will mark the twenty-fourth anniversary of the fourteenth Winter Olympic Games, held in Sarajevo.

Tema „Barikade bez granica '68 - Novi (vrli) svijet" otvara pitanja dijaloga između različitih generacija koje su sudjelovale, svaka na svoj način, u stvaranju novog svijeta, rušeći barikade između njihovih snova, ciljeva i svijeta koji ih okružuje i u kojem žive. Svaka generacija suočava se sa iskustvom da su ispred i iza njih barikade bez granica. Stvaranje novog svijeta znači život u „vrlom svijetu". Odnos generacija iz druge polovine dvadesetog stoljeća od vremena studentskih nemira 1968. godine do danas istražujemo na Festivalu kroz umjetnost života. Kroz urbanu komunikaciju sa savremenim problemima/interesima umjetnika, publike i istoričara tragaćemo za ključnom tačkom njihovog susretanja. Festival će se realizovati u godini Evropskog interkulturalnog dijaloga i na poseban način će biti povezan sa Euromediteranskim susretima mladih . U skladu sa tradicijom Festival će u prvoj sedmici obilježiti dvadeset i četvrtu godišnjicu 14. zimskih olimpjskih igara.

...and others,


Nine Dragon Heads group makes an attempt
to leave better heritage to the future generations,
concerning the environment and
spirituality. Human beings have repeated
development with enormous domination and
control over environment. There is no doubt
that human beings are superior in all respects.
Thinking back to the past, many species on
Earth were exterminated because the friendly
environment which helped their birth changed
into hostile attitude. Human has regarded
nature as the target of challenge and conquest,
that is to say, as the subject of testing
mankind’s ability in the process of transforming
and possessing the nature. Ultimately, if
we are asked a question when the mankind will
disappear, we may answer “the day will not be
far distant.” No matter how peculiar people
may be, we must deeply realize that men are
also the product of appropriate environment
and the part of nature.
