Rotterdam is perhaps the most ethnically and culturally diverse city in the Netherlands, which also makes it an ever-changing city, a place under constant construction. Photographer Otto Snoek was born and raised in Rotterdam, and has a certain fondness for the both city’s boundless ambition and its rougher edges. In this photobook, pictures from the late 1980s and early 1990s narrate the emergence of a new skyline at breakneck speed, documenting the city’s reconstruction through stark views of demolition sites, construction pits, and endless cranes. Snoek prefers the fringes: mountains of sand, ruins of demolished buildings, and muddy sites lined with grim fences.
