Over a period of 6 months #herecomestheflood is exhibited on E-pier at Royal Schiphol Airport. With an average of 5.900.000 yearly visitors and average dwelling time of 90 minutes a perfect place to confront the audience in a positive way on watermanagement in The Netherlands. #herecomestheflood Without its dikes, dunes and pumping stations, 25% of the Netherlands would be under water – and sea levels are rising. Hoping to inspire change, Rem has found a creative, engaging way to visualise this sobering reality in Zeeuws Meisje #water. In numerous places across the country, an acrobat balancing on a tall ladder is indicating the level the water would reach if it wasn’t for all the measures taken to protect the land. The costume the acrobats are wearing refers to the regional dress of Zeeland, the part of the Netherlands most vulnerable to the sea. From the deep of a sluice to tourist landmarks and the fruit trees in bloom, the vulnerability is both palpable and surreal. Collaborating closely with local organisations and authorities involved with water awareness, Rem seeks to open up candid discussions about the consequences of the rising water – and what we can do about it. For #herecomestheflood Rem teams up with: Unesco Geopark Schelde Delta i.o. City of Amsterdam Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Province of Zeeland Watersnoodmuseum NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research Haarlemmermeermuseum and the Cruquius Rem is an ambassador to the Unesco Geopark Schelde Delta i.o. and Zuidwestelijke Delta.

Without dikes, dunes and pumping stations, large parts of the Netherlands would be flooded frequently. Some parts would even be flooded permanently. With sea levels rising and climate change driving more extreme weather, keeping feet dry in low-lying areas is becoming increasingly important. With the photo series #herecomestheflood photographer Rem van den Bosch, City of Amsterdam and Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht want to show the reality of a rising sea level in an accessible way. With his work, Van den Bosch shows the water levels if dikes would collapse. The models, as silent messengers of the water, show the water level in case of a flooding. Do we want to keep our feet dry? City of Amsterdam and Regional Public Water Authority are working hard on this. Continued action is necessary, now and in the future. For #herecomestheflood in Amsterdam Rem works together with City of Amsterdam and Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Rem is an ambassador to the Unesco Geopark Schelde Delta i.o. and Zuidwestelijke Delta.
