“Schiermonnikoog. Island. The smallest inhabited one in the Wadden Sea actually, just off the coast of the Netherlands. Less than 200 square kilometers, population under 1000. Forget about the tourists. You need to spend a week there, try and capture the spirit of the place.
You up to it, magician? You have the guts?
Don’t want to scare you off, but I’ve also invited John Gossage, Jem Southam, Gerco de Ruijter, Leo Divendal. Just a few names. Would love to see the way YOU handle this one.”
From a letter by writer & curator Eddie Marsman, organizing the project, "Eiland Insel Island Eilaun" for the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, 2005.
