A serie of 28 photos is the result of a temporary intervention/performance on Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I asked passers-by to pose in front of a background chosen from eight different images; a selection out of a group of 1970s wallpaper landscapes. After making their selection, individuals were juxtaposed alongside the "real" street environment. Fifty people participated in the performance and subsequently received their own photo via email. In that sense it is a community art project based on the idea of contemporary art in public space as a process of civil participation.
