Snoek's work is derived from an interest for both the perceived and actual social tendencies that bring about friction – nationalism, popular culture, populism and consumption – and a search for elements that unite and divide. For this publication the Dutch photographer presents a new series of colour photographs, alongside previously unpublished work from his long-term photo essay 'Hometown'. Central to the new works is the exploration of the demographic 'mix' of Rotterdam – the 174 cultures and their 'foreign' and 'indigenous' citizens that may or may not have found ways to relate to each other. The result is a portrait of Rotterdam that more than many other cities emerges as heterogeneous in its composition, elusive, restless, full of tension but still hopeful.
