You cant miss it when you are in the center of IJsselstein. Eight large billboards displaying photos of police officers in various situations, such as during emergency services, on patrol in the neighborhood, during investigations, and in training.
Raw Story
Photographer Wouter Zaalberg spent about a year and a half traveling the country with the police. His mission was to show the police from the inside out. Photos that tell the raw story. Wouter: I dont stage anything. I want it to be real. He sometimes photographed from the passenger seat or over the shoulders of officers. As a visitor to the exhibition, you are right in the midst of police work. The exhibition is impressive, just like the work of the police, and we are proud of that! We want to engage with visitors and passersby about what police work means to them. We find it important to connect with the residents of the police unit Midden-Nederland.
Tribute
The photos depict recognizable police work for citizens. They are sometimes raw but honest photos. The exhibition draws attention to police work and makes it visible. Heartbeat of the Street is a public thank you to all officers for their commitment, as we appreciate them. A photographic tribute to both the blue craftsmanship and the person in uniform.
IJsselstein
The photo exhibition Heartbeat of the Street is a traveling exhibition that moves through different units. From February 21 to 27, the exhibition can be admired at Overtoom in IJsselstein. We are grateful to the municipality of IJsselstein for their hospitality in allowing the exhibition to be displayed in the center. We are also pleased with the efforts of colleagues to make this a success.
