..."Why, I ask you earnestly, need we go on making commonplace little exposures of subjects may sorted into groups of landscapes, portraits, and figure studies ? Think of the joy of doing somthing which would be impossible to classify or to tell which was top and which the bottom!...


"Colours of Water" shows what the color of water represents from different points of view. The subjects in this project were chosen to show the concern and astonishment Marco van Middelkoop felt about places he visited during three journeys through the USA and Mexico. During the first journey Marco was inspired by the visual appearance of the different locations. Later, he became more and more fascinated by the origin of the "art-scapes". How were they created and why? The different perception made the literal appearance of water disappear from the photographs to be replaced by elements that visualize the cause and consequence the colours of water convey.
