ABOUT
The photo series that Marco van Duyvendijk shot on the Chinese island of Gulangyu in April 2008 was inspired by the story Het Lente-Eiland (‘Spring Island’) by J. Slauerhoff of 1930. Working as a ship’s doctor on the Java-China-Japan route, Slauerhoff regularly visited Gulangyu, then known as Amoy. He also spent some time working at the island’s hospital. Het Lente-Eiland can be regarded as his prose debut. As van Duyvendijk reports in his introduction, Slauerhoff used reality to arrive at a minutely precise description of the atmosphere on Gulangyu and his own state of mind.
