For the project ‘Template of a sleeping city’ I was walking through nightly cityscapes and suburbs. The sketch-photographs I took while walking were dominated by circles, squares and rectangles; a completely abstract image showed up. These images can be seen everywhere; the night brushes away many characteristics of specific locations. What remains is a framework of views and places that applies to any location; a template of a sleeping city.
