With ‘Trading Places’, Sjoerd Houben focuses on an area's struggle to maintain its identity in changing times. On the edge of a city, a place of industry and business. The images show human presence, traces left by inhabitants, workers and passersby.

Going into various places, and moving around them, Houben comes back to a central point in the work. A flat building that houses almost all inhabitants of the area.
