‘The first houses on the Nieuwendijk were built around 1225. They were the oldest residential houses in Amsterdam and made of wood. I have lived above the archaeological remains on the first floor for over 10 years now. Normally there is a river of people under my window and now for a few weeks now suddenly no one at all. It feels very special and I think this will never happen again – not as long as I probably live. I can’t stop taking pictures.

In my head there is a real river under our windows. I started drawing it. A story about the river slowly emerges in fragments. ‘ – Marieke Zwart
