Sensitive Times is the fourth publication in a series of portraits, in book form, of the city of Rotterdam, in collaboration with artists who are particularly concerned with the photographic medium. Lidwien van de Ven approaches Rotterdam as a microcosm of global developments at the intersection of politics and religions. Beginning with the highly polarizing murders of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn and the subsequent murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh – events which have contributed to the rise of an internationally-networked right-wing populist movement whose polarizing effects on Rotterdam and the Netherlands reverberate internationally in the aftermath of 9/11 – she travelled to places such as Antwerp, Berlin, New York and Oslo.
