Under Amsterdam, a whole world is hidden. Discarded, forgotten, concealed. Selected from thousands of archaeological finds, Irma Boom and Frederik Pesch created a distinct corpus of objects, arranged in a unique sequence of form, colour and texture, making it a real page-turner. The compilers present their surprising view on the archaeology of Amsterdam. The selection and composition of their work shed a personal light on the richness of artefacts from the Amsterdam soil, leaving the expressiveness of the objects themselves unchallenged. Consequently, the makers compose a city’s history from unexpected perspectives. Publication commissioned by the City of Amsterdam.
