Dieuwertje Komen, Commonness, 2009

In 2009, Dieuwertje Komen visited four medium-sized cities: Bordeaux, Kosice, Pilzn and Mons. She was commissioned by the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam to visit the cities that had applied to become the European Capital of Culture. Komen has arranged her photos of the various cities randomly to create a tour that constantly changes: it is not confined to a single city, instead it says something about the urban situation in medium-sized European cities today.
