The space around us seems to have only one specific purpose left: to provide a network for the increasing streams of traffic.
Just as oceans and rivers are important to logistics on earth, the air has become a network of flight, with airplanes, satellites and other manmade objects.
In his new work Michiel Schierbeek has tried to show these networks and movements. He concentrates on the use of the space that surrounds us, as we experience it on a daily basis in the constant stream of movement caused by the take-offs and landings of planes, the sailing back and forth of freight and pleasure ships and the racing of trucks and other vehicles
His new watercolours are imaginary bird's eye views of these traffic networks. Through Google Earth Schierbeek surveys the earth, while also using existing or abstracted plans of harbours, traffic junctions and airports.
Moreover, he photographs these movements in real life on the spot. .
