About this event

Event lasts 3 hours
Ages 18+
Paid venue parking

You're warmly invited to an intimate presentation of an eight-month research project exploring analogue photography and wellknown and unknown printing techniques.

If you know, you know is my queerest exhibition yet — a raw, unapologetic journey into queerness, kink, and fetishism. Shot entirely on analogue film, the series embraces texture, imperfection, and authenticity. This body of work doesn’t aim to explain itself — it speaks in code, in gesture, in gaze. It invites those who know to feel seen, and those who don’t to lean in.

A celebration of queer desire in all its layered, lustful, and deeply human forms.

This project was made possible with support from CBK Rotterdam (Research and Development fund).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pay for the entrance?

No, the event is for free. However, due to limited space in my atelier please reserve your ticket.

How do I travel to the venue with public transport?

Take tram 4 or 6 from Rotterdam central station to Soetendaalseweg. Or take the train to station Rotterdam North and walk a short 10 minutes to my atelier.

Where can I park my car?

Paid parking is available in my street. If you want to park your car for free please park at Noorderkade in the free paring spaces. Please note the beginning of the street is also paid parking.

Is the location wheelchair accessible?

Since my atelier is located in an old hospital and we don't have an elavator, the location is not wheelchair accessible.

Why is there an age restriction?

Some of the presented works display nudity, therefore viewer discretion is advised.
