W.IJzerman Molyvos 1988 Framed photograph in plastic sleeve / 2012
39
W.IJzerman Molyvos 1988 Plots duikt dit beeld op in mijn hoofd nadat het vele jaren verborgen is geweest. Het beeld van een oranje ruïne zwevend in het niets. Dit beeld is een herinnering aan een foto die mijn vader ooit heeft gemaakt van een ruïne op het eiland Molyvos in Griekenland. Hij maakte het in de duisternis door de sluiter van zijn analoge fototoestel lang open te laten staan terwijl hij het geplaatst had op een steen. Hij maakte één foto. Eenmaal terug in Nederland zag hij het eindresultaat, het voldeed niet aan zijn verwachtingen. Dit vreemde beeld kwam voor mijn vader niet over met het oorspronkelijke tafereel. Jaren later komt het beeld onverwacht in mij naar boven; buitenaards als het is. Enthousiast ga ik op zoek naar de foto in een kast vol familiealbums. Na enige tijd zoeken vind ik het. Tot mijn verbazing is het niet in één van de familie albums geplaatst maar in mijn eigen foto-album, de enige die ik ooit had. Ik moet het beeld ooit in mijn album hebben gestopt - óf omdat mijn vader er afstand van deed en ik het mooi vond, óf omdat ik het graag wilde hebben. Mijn vader is niet werkzaam in de kunsten en heeft met uitzondering van vakantiefoto’s nooit beelden gemaakt. Maar deze foto die in zijn ogen mislukt is, is voor mij een prachtige uitkomst van een experiment. Een experiment zoals ik ze dagelijks doe in mijn atelier. Deze foto is daarom voor mij betekenisvol. Naast haar autonome kwaliteiten - waarvoor ik het beeld oorspronkelijk heb opgezocht - draagt zij een verhaal met zich mee dat voorzichtig iets onthult over de relatie tussen mij en mijn vader en de oorsprong van de objecten die maak. Dit verhaal is diep geworteld in herinneringen en niet volledig traceerbaar, maar dat is niet belangrijk. Belangrijk is dat het beeld door mijn vader is gemaakt en dat zij om wat voor reden dan ook in mijn album terecht is gekomen, in mijn archief, in mijn werk.

W.IJzerman Molyvos 1988 Details
All of a sudden this image appeared back into my head after it had been invisible for many years. The image of an orange ruin floating in nothing. This image is the memory of a pic-
W.IJzerman Molyvos 1988
ture my father once made of a ruin at the island of Molyvos in Greece. He made it at night with a long exposure shot trying to stabilize the analog camera on a rock. He made one

picture. Once he got back in Holland and saw the end result he came to the conclusion that this was not what he expected. This strange image of a glowing ruin in space did not

match what he had originally seen.

cause my father wanted to throw it away and I didn’t want him to, or just because I liked it.
The exhibition
The reason why this image is so special to me, is not only because of its autonomous qualities (the pure image on itself is quite capable of being a work) but also because this picture

contains a story. My father never practiced an art related profession, actually next to mak-

ing family photographs he never made ‘images’ at all. But to me this photograph that he regards as being failed is a wonderful result of an experiment. Experiments like I do daily

in my studio. The story this image contains is deeply rooted in the relationship between my father and me and reveals part of the origin of the objects I make. This story is vague and

blurred by background noise but that is not important. Important to me is that this picture is

made by my father and it somehow got into my photo album, in my archive, in my work.
