Description: The Naval Base is a town built, bombed and rebuilt by the government. When the government invests in the navy, the city flourishes. When the government withdraws, the city fades away. There are many more like this naval town in Europe: cities or regions that are excessively dependent on the attention of the national government. A city where the population is unilaterally composed according to the demand of the largest employer. Exhibition: Portrait Gallery Studio, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (06.11-21.11.2021).
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at Het Pompgemaal, Huisduinen, October 27-31, 2021 and the Portrait Gallery Studio, Amsterdam, November 6-21, 2021.
