‘Hier is de geschiedenis’ (Here is where history is) was commissioned by employeess of Noord-Hollands Archief, as a gift for their retiring director. The building in which the archive houses, the layers of historical content stored in the basement, and the openess to the public, that the NHA gained under his leadership, where key elements to work with.

Parts of a poem by city poet Willemijn Spook were used for this sculpture. That poem is painted on the walls of St.Janskerk Haarlem, where Noord-Hollands Archief is located.
