With his long-term project ‘Haven’ Sem Langendijk attempts to capture the environment of his youth: a place that no longer exists. He grew up in a community of labourers, artists, squatters and outsiders on the Westerdok, close to Amsterdam’s former western port area. He witnessed how his haven had to make way for a smoothed-out quay with a new skyline, luxury apartments and large-scale architecture. Haven examines the environments of different port cities in various phases of transition, highlighting the transformation of abandoned docklands and the communities that reside there — showing not only a process of urban development, but also of social exclusion.
