“In door-to-door conversations Beierle + Keijser asked residents of the Heroes of the Sea District where they felt that something dramatic, tragic or memorable had taken place. This question is the significant core of their artistic project; one might wonder if a more legitimate question exists concerning the contemporary public domain. Twenty handwritten texts accompanying the photographs documenting the locations indicated by the residents, describe, a little brazen, often typically Dutch, but always amusing and never wholly unambiguous, the sensational, or at any rate exceptional events that, nonetheless, attempt to imbue these places with meaning. This process doesn’t differ that much from the way the news, the papers or politics attach significance to something — but it is the style and the principles of art that make us view these things differently." - Christophe van Gerrewey
