In the booklet 'What happened in Rotterdam' Charlie Koohaas tells the story of a previously bleak and bombed harbour city that has benefitted from its 'accidental' erasure by transforming itself into what is now called one of the coolest places on the planet.

Combining photography and writing artist and sociologist Carlie Koolhaas uncovers the irrepressible creativity of the Netherlands most diverse city - where life casually reveals the undeniable vitality, successes and failures of Europe's multicultural project at a moment in history when it's under seige.
