Plaats Delict Amsterdam,
Crime Scene Amsterdam. Forensic Photography from Amsterdam's Police Archive 1960-1986

Early yesterday morning riding on my bicycle through the Vondelpark the police made me take a little detour. Obviously something was going on. Hundred meters further down the road, next to one of the romantic bridges close to the Filmmuseum, stood a group of fire man, an ambulance, a couple of police cars. Clearly visible under the bridge a person hanged himself. Being in the world is to have a posture. Leaving the world also involves having a posture. It looked quiet clumsy. This bridge is only one meter above the water. If there had not been a rope it would have looked as if this person was standing waist deep in the water fishing. Only last weekend I was looking in a cataloque of an exhibition full with photos of 'clumsy looking' postures.
