Appreciation towards Erik Klein Wolterink for providing the following description:

Erik Klein Wolterink专注于厨房的深度内容。

阿姆斯特丹厨房肖像系列作品里，他将阿姆斯特丹城市当中各种族人们的厨房里每一个柜子，抽屉，冰箱，烤箱都打开并拍摄其中的内容，最后将这些内容合成在一起。

来自土耳其血统的家庭厨房里有山羊奶酪和清真香肠。来自非洲的居民将用过的苏打水塑料瓶用来装油。女学生的厨房一尘不染。巴基斯坦血统的居民厨房里有着咖喱和豆蔻，这是一个成长着小孩的家庭，厨房中也融入了荷兰的饮食文化，比如抽屉里有三明治，水槽附近有花生酱和巧克力酱。

厨房就是复杂多元文化的载体和镜子。

阿姆斯特丹厨房肖像系列作品现已出版成书。售价25欧元，值得收藏。

Kitchen Portraits Amsterdam

In commission of the City Archives and the The Amsterdam Fund for the Arts Erik Klein Wolterink has focused on the innards of the kitchens, as if the exterior didn’t matter.

The photographer opened cupboards, drawers, fridges and ovens. Each piece he photographed separately and reconstructed the images again to one unit.

Like him, we zoom in on what the cupboards have collected over months or even decades. From instant mashed potatoes to truffle oil, from Maggi cubes to Ethiopian spice mixes. This is the raw material with which we must try to imagine who belongs to these kitchens.

A well-stocked kitchen refers to Turkish cookery with goat’s cheese and halal sausage. But the mix for homemade apple pie is a witness of an open attitude towards other customs. A mother shows her African roots with a plastic Voltic Sparkling Water bottle filled with palm oil. Female students undermine our prejudices with a spotless kitchen. In the kitchen of a family with growing children, a packet of Korma curry of Pakistani descent and cardamom pods try to square themselves with Dutch kitchen habits. Here the Dutch sandwich culture leaves its traces in the sandwich wrappers in the drawer, the sandwiches in the fridge and the Nutella chocolate paste in the sink cupboard next to the abrasive agent.

The kitchen as metaphor of a complex, multicultural reality.

The book Kitchen Portraits is for sale in the City Bookshop.

Erik Klein Wolterink explores kitchens of various ethnic groups within the city of Amsterdam. For this project he mapped these kitchens in a systematic, almost maniacal way. Every shelf, every cup, every tool is photographed in the way that the original user had left it in his/her kitchen. The result is a remarkable detailed documentary about cultural habits. Linda Roodenburg wrote an essay on this topic, that is included in the book.
