an evening with photographer Anton Corbijn and artist Berend Strik

September 8, 2011

Yesterday I have the honor to give a copy of our book The State of L3 Collective, to legendary photographer Anton Corbijn, one my heroes during my adolescent in Panama.

The Dutch magazine ZAM Africa Magazine organized on September 7, 2011 in the MC Amsterdam Theatre an evening with photographer Anton Corbijn and artist Berend Strik about their collaboration art work “Mandela Landscape” with ZAM magazine and their solidarity with ZAM and the African talent.

Mandela Landscape is a portrait of Anton Corbijn (1955, photographer, filmmaker, visual artist) in 2003 of Nelson Mandela in Cape Town. Subsequently, Berend Strik (1960, artist) embroidered the portrait, using a procedure in which he gained international fame. This image forms the basis of 80 prints, signed and numbered by the artists.
