The Little Emigration -- Toon Kortooms

In De kleine emigratie, Toon Kortooms leaves the familiar and expansive Brabantse Peel for a completely different, surprising setting: an allotment complex on the outskirts of the big city.

The title 'the small emigration' refers to city dwellers who, on weekends or during the summer, escape their cramped apartment homes. They 'emigrate' temporarily to their own rented plot of land with a garden shed to enjoy nature, peace, and the illusion of country life. Kortooms immerses himself as an observer in this unique micro-society.
