In 2011, CBK Rotterdam, in collaboration with Havensteder and Sonor, developed a plan to provide the renovated ornamental frames around the Zwaanshals with a work of art. Seven new paintings have been applied and two well-known works have been restored. The Rotterdam artist Katinka Lampe made a portrait of a girl for the ornament frame on the corner of Zaagmolenstraat and Jacob Catsstraat. Girls, young women, form the basis of Lampe's work, who manages and smoothly depicts these models. But precisely because she executes these portraits so beautifully and precisely, it is striking that these girls are not standard models. Each time they are a bit too artificial and impersonal to be 'real', to address passers-by as girls of flesh and blood. This friction in Lampe's work takes on a different meaning in public space. There, billboards normally show images of young women who are selected for their beauty and personalization possibilities. Lampe's work does not do that, without you being able to pinpoint exactly why not. A role is played by Lampe working from newspaper photos of women that you do not see in the Rotterdam streets: Iraqi women from war zones, the children of Michael Jackson with masks on, a Chinese with a mask against air pollution. Lampe applies such artificial interventions to children and young people who are too young to have to deal with such serious issues. As a result, she gives her subjects both presence and vulnerability, without ever becoming sentimental.
