Fryslân-as-identity is at a critical tilting moment. Slowly the contours of the nostalgic view are disappearing and our modern-day society is starting to ask new questions. What does it mean to live in Fryslân nowadays? What characterizes the everyday life? How is the past represented in the future? An enthusiastic group of designers and visual artists that live or have lived in Fryslân has answered these questions and has mapped the province from within. The overall result is a collection of images that perhaps exposes the current soul of Fryslân. The topics range from self-sufficiency to home care, from farms to high-rise buildings, from ‘Oranjekoeken’ to visual art. Sometimes the contributions are moving, other times they show the harsh reality. Some draw lines along the horizon, right through the Frisian households. This atlas has become a poetic form of anthropology that questions the current identity of Fryslân, going beyond nostalgia and clichés.
