This artist from Amsterdam shows people whom he (secretly) photographs on the street. These people are dressed in strikingly similar ways, and when displayed together in one picture this can have a comic effect \u2013 and in a way they seem even profound, as the egalitarian aspect of fashion trends is suddenly so obvious to the eye. Many visitors stand in animated conversation in front of the photographs and ask: Where can I find this guy again?<\/p>\n<p>documenta gave Hans Eijkelboom a room to himself at the Stadtmuseum Kassel. We get lucky and meet him there.<\/p>\n<h2>A work of art in two hours<\/h2>\n<p>The artist is one of these friendly, open Dutchmen and answers our questions candidly. How long does it take to make a series like this? \u201cI just need two hours,\u201d he says. \u201cIf it was days or even weeks, it would lose its appeal and wouldn\u2019t be anything special\u201d. He can easily find the motifs in any city center. After five to ten minutes he\u2019ll have an idea about what the series of the day should look like.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures are more or less shot from the hip in passing. The photo hunter does not ask all his subjects for permission. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t have time for that; that would take forever\u201d. He looks for a theme, secretly takes his pictures, and later puts them all together to create a finished piece. Clearly no one has yet complained about being part of a work of art without being asked.<\/p>\n<p>From the \u201cdocumenta 14: Daybook\u201c I gather that Hans Eijkelboom has turned this photographic conceptual art practically into a passion \u2013 since the beginning of the 90s he has been visiting cities around the world making these series, with his main focus always on the outer appearance and dress code. The artists creates a \u201cdocument of arresting sameness\u201d, writes curator Dieter Roelstraete. With this, Eijkelboom belongs to the forerunners of conceptual photography in Europe. His works have been exhibited all over the world, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.<\/p>\n<p>One of the special aspects of documenta is that individual motifs or works of the artists can be found again in other locations \u2013 and that plays right into the theme of this exhibit. And so it was that, one day later in the Neue Galerie, I stumbled across an early piece by Eijkelboom titled \u201cThe three Communists\u201d. Yes, it was a long time ago, way back in 1975, but the artist can still be easily recognized in the photos. &#x1f609;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-574 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5249-e1503436720310.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1333\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-575 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_5251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" \/><\/p>\n<p>more about the pieces by Hans Eijkelboom:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photonotebook.de\">www.photonotebook.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">Street Photography by Hans Eijkelboom from Amsterdam That there is not much humor at documenta may well be true, but&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts","category-magazine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u201cDocuments of arresting sameness\u201d - documenta 14 - Hamburg Arts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/en\/documents-of-arresting-sameness-documenta-14\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u201cDocuments of arresting sameness\u201d - documenta 14 - Hamburg Arts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Street Photography by Hans Eijkelboom from Amsterdam That there is not much humor at documenta may well be true, but...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/en\/documents-of-arresting-sameness-documenta-14\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hamburg Arts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-11-13T21:00:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-04-01T19:57:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4731-2-e1503433104348.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1333\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kay Dethlefs\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/hamburgarts.de\\\/en\\\/documents-of-arresting-sameness-documenta-14\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/hamburgarts.de\\\/en\\\/documents-of-arresting-sameness-documenta-14\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Kay Dethlefs\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/hamburgarts.de\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b13d55f794687eaf59f9ddd30d546899\"},\"headline\":\"\u201cDocuments of arresting sameness\u201d &#8211;
