Last hour of the WTC in book and expo

ME.TALK - ​A Dutch photographer and cameraman, Guy van Grinsven, witnessed the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City on 11 September 2001. A photo and video shoot was scheduled in the morning from the 107th floor of the North Tower.

The report was made just as well, at a different location and it became a completely different one than planned.

Exactly 10 years later, Van Grinsven went back and followed the same route as then and photographed according to the 'Dear Photography' principle: in exactly the same place, the new situation with the photo of 9/11 in his hand. These photos, as well as those from 9/11, packaged as a captivating 'live report', are put together in his new photo book '#9/11 EYEWITNESS' and can be found in the exhibition, where the photo and video images and all kinds of artifacts can be found. see. The central question is: 'Where were you on 9/11 and where are we now, 15 years later?'

Andy Mulderij, a Dutch 3D designer, has been fascinated by the WTC for 15 years and digitally reconstructed the entire complex to the state before the attack. In the basement of Galerie 't Blauwe Huis, people return to the Austin J. Tobin Plaza wearing 3D glasses and taste the atmosphere that was there that day, including the sounds. Visitors take a seat on one of the benches and look around 360 degrees. There is a serene peace. A greater contrast with Guy van Grinsven's exhibition on the ground floor is hardly conceivable.
