De Stadscollectie Antwerpen is a lively tribute to the artists who give colour to the city of Antwerp. From emerging talent to established names, this collection highlights local creativity but also the global influence of Antwerp’s art scene. Welcome!

In 2010, Dietvorst moves to Ireland. First Impressions follows the seasons and changes in the garden for a year, from the same camera angle.

“I don’t think I’ve ever learned so much as in these last ten years: living with the seasons, growing vegetables, appreciating weeds, squeezing caterpillars, killing ducks, plucking chickens, snaring rabbits, and driving a tractor. And what it means to live, love and die with nature.”
