Plakboek
This scrapbook is a retrospective in collage form of the playful happenings and metamorphoses with which Robert Jasper Grootveld, around 1960, created the Magical Centre Amsterdam: ‘a city where everything is possible.’ The scrapbook showcases Grootveld’s transvestites and exhibitionism, showing a loner who plays with different identities in order to challenge authority, false advertising and social conventions. Grootveld is male and female, white and black, a (former) window washer and an anti-smoking magician.
