Here Is Where We Meet: Basins

Before the exhibition, Aimee Zito Lema was photo-documenting all traces that have been left visible after the Iconoclastic Fury; the empty spaces left where once images were placed. The artist documented these traces of the past by photographing all physical marks on the building, specifically focusing the imagery that is still visible on the 30 meter high ceiling.

Four huge water basins, varying in size, covered the floor of the Oude Kerk. In the basins were the photographic reproductions of the original vault paintings of the Oude Kerk and architectural drawings, plans and notes from the restoration books of the Oude Kerk archives. Thus, it was like a mirror image of itself, subject to the erosion process of the effects water has on prints on paper. One image was standing, on a scaffold hung an inkjet print measuring 5 by 8 meters. Pictured was a digital drawing based on the contours of original vault paintings
