Poster for the ‘Oy Oy Oy’ tour of Amsterdam Klezmer Band

Teeshirt for Amsterdam Klezmer Band during their Oy Oy Oy tour.

the pictograms that appear in the night on the cover of ‘Oy Oy Oy’ (printed with glow-in-the-dark) were used as illustrations in the booklet on the CD and the opened double sleeve of the vinyl album.

Backdrop for Amsterdam Klezmer Band during their Oy Oy Oy tour – the peacock is silk printed in white on black fabric and a video mapped image of the peacock with a moving eye is projected over it. And in the feathers appear -one by one- aspects of the ‘dark site’. On the black parts we projected cosmic and hallucinogenic images of the band (photos of the band members by Fred van Diem) that seemed to float in mid air while the peacock was sharp and bright due to the projection on white.

During their ‘oy oy oy’ period, Amsterdam Klezmer Band needed a promotional picture. I thought it would be great if they’d be floating in space – there was also an idea in the making in which Alec would fly in a rocket to a black hole but we never made that clip. The promotional picture is there though – I also used elements of this shoot in the backdrop for their shows at the time.

The separate photos were made by Fred van Diem.

‘Exit Oblivion’ was the draft title for ‘Oy Oy Oy’. The illustration on the sleeve you see here was only used for promotion.
