The exhibition ‘Maurice Boyer – at home in Amsterdam’ consists of two parts. The first part focusses on one of his first assignments at the end of the 1970s: recording the demolition, renovation and new construction in various Amsterdam neighbourhoods like Staatsliedenbuurt, Spaarndammerbuurt and Dapperbuurt. This led to him ending up in the middle of the squatters' world and being present at their riots in Vondelstraat and during Queen Beatrix's coronation. The photos in the exhibition reveal a disconcerting view of Amsterdam in those days.
