Hidden Harbour Photography: Hans Wilschut, Texts: Bas Heijne, Piet de Jonge

For Hidden Harbour, Wilschut photographed the Port of Rotterdam at the edge of light—just before darkness sets in.Through his lens, the raw Rotterdam Harbor transforms into an almost otherworldly version of reality, full of stillness, light, and color. In his essay, author Bas Heijne compares Wilschut’s work to that of outsiders in literature and music—figures who teach us to view the world around us differently. Art historian Piet de Jonge links Wilschut’s harbor images to his earlier photographic series documenting urbanization processes in global metropolises.
