About the book: Nature is disappearing. Species are becoming extinct and every three seconds a piece of rainforest the size of a soccerfield is cut down. This feels like a disaster, but is it actually? Can a world with only parks and agriculture exist? And would it be enjoyable? This book explores the values of nature and its diversity.

The series A Falling Horizon is about the Sophiapolder, an island where Hannie and her children had a sheep farm for years. Every morning they would row across the river to take care of the animals. But now they are forced to leave their home.

Rik Dekker has turned the photo I took of shoegaze band Eins, Zwei, Orchestra into a music video by using a lot of analogue videorecorders. This song is inspired by the work and life of Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
