Education


Terpstra was educated at the AKI Academy of Art & Design in Enschede and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. After his time at the Rijksakademie, Terpstra focused on photography in relation to perception, memory, and history.




Funeral Train


Since 2014, Terpstra has been working on the project The Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train – The People’s View.

In this project, he reconstructs the journey of the funeral train of the assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy on 8 June 1968, through photos taken by bystanders. This project resulted in an installation, film, and book, and has been exhibited at the SFMoMA in San Francisco, which acquired the work. This long-running project has been exhibited at various locations including the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, Les Rencontres d'Arles, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Fabra y Coats in Barcelona, and the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki. In 2019, Stiftung Buchkunst awarded the book The Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train—The People’s View a gold medal and deemed it "The Most Beautiful Book in the World".

Terpstra has also created several works in public spaces, such as the artwork for the residential complex Groeneveen
and the wave project in IJburg.
