The book N 50 51 40.9 E 3 24 1.3 is a breath-taking compendium with over 1000 reproductions of the most recent series of drawings by Marcel van Eeden. Van Eeden (The Hague, 1965) has been working on a continually expanding body of work for over twenty years. For his drawings and paintings Van Eeden draws inspiration from found images created before he was born. A large part of his work consists of drawings in which Van Eeden mixes historical fact with fiction. Many of the artist’s stories stage recurring characters, allowing viewers to ‘read’ Van Eeden’s works as part of a whole, and as individual pieces of art. Because Marcel van Eeden thoroughly researches his topics, it is often unclear to the public where reality ends and fiction begins.
