'Fluxfields' was made with the participation of a number of families living in 3 apartment buildings in Vlaardingen Oost slated for demolition. During a series of interviews, 6 different residents described their contacts with their neighbors, old and new. Many of them had been living there for many years and knew the neighborhood and the people in it extremely well. It was a time of transition and change in the neighborhood; many residents were being re-housed, and new people moving in to occupy the empty apartments on a short term basis.

Each household has their own color. The lines go from door to door, sometimes intersecting with the building in the middle to connect with someone on the other side. Solid lines show connections between people who at the time of the interview were still living there,while the dotted lines are for those people who had already moved.

By following the lines of flowers, the social networks of the residents become visible, at the very moment before these networks will disappear.
