Waiting for the Aldi is part of my long term project City Scripts.

Throughout the Netherlands I take pictures of Aldi entrances when the store is about to open- at the moment when regularly a mob of costumers stands waiting there.

Almost without exception this scene takes place every morning in front of every Aldi store. Without common agreement customers perform the same act.

This turns the opening hours of the Aldi stores into a script which determines people's behaviour, which eventually results in this photo archive - Waiting for the Aldi.
