2008 Commission by the city of Rotterdam. "These drawings were complex assemblages of architectural photography, illustrations of signage and street furniture and subjective annotation. Aside from their brilliant execution, what really struck me about the work was that Dresm? was reading the entire city as a unified construct. I've been staring at glamour-shot renderings and precious perspectives for several years now, and it is extremely refreshing to see this much energy poured into representing urban space on a whole rather than highlighting a specific structure as a "point of interest"... The dynamic images suggest a dense weave of architectural and infrastructural elements accented with typography and inhabitation. Where else but in Rotterdam could we see work like this being commissioned by a municipality?" - Greg J. Smith / Feb. 2008 |
