DOCUMENTING CITY LIFE FOR STADLEVEN

door Marieke | dec 15, 2015

For several editions of ‘Stadleven’ (housing corporation Stadgenoot’s magazine), I portrayed tenants in Amsterdam. Capturing them at home or in their neighbourhood, each time another theme in mind. These are some of the stories I found.

Photographed and written by me.

Marijn and Chantal are neighbours in Wladiwostok. An apartment block built in 1994 on Java-eiland in Amsterdam. They speak about their favourite second hand items.

Monnie (left) and Geert also live in Wladiwostok. They are residents of the first hour.

Leonarda went back to school, Zafer has a fulltime job taking care of his disabled father.
