Andrea Stultiens is a photographer from the Netherlands. In this collection of images, the artist employs a variety of landscape and portrait photography techniques to recall the history of Pitt Meadows and link the landscapes and peoples of the past to today.

Low Land, High Hills deals with the identity of a group of Dutch people who immigrated to Canada in the 1950s. They reclaimed land in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, by building a polder (dyked and drained land, a Dutch specialty) in an area that was previously flooded each year by the Pitt River. 

In 1957 Dutch photographer Frits Gerritsen visited the polder. He portrayed the people and the work on the dyke. Twice in 2005 Adrea Stultiens, traveled to Canada to document the polder. Stultiens photographed the places and landscapes that Gerritsen had recorded almost 50 years earlier. She interviewed some of the immigrants, took their portraits and interior photographs of some of their houses. Stultiens also collected archival papers and photographs related to the settlement of the community.

A culmination of Stultiens research, the exhibition Low Land, High Hills is a documentation of a place that no longer exists, the land of the original polder is now vacant. Through her exhibition Stultiens relates how a community that has disbanded remains connected through the cultural ties of the past that were reinforced/recreated during the settlement process. The artist also published a book with images from exhibition.
