Van Sinderen p.186: "Het werk van Gerald van der Kaap laat zich mede door zijn veelzijdigheid als kunstenaar niet gemakkelijk in een hokje stoppen. In de jaren 80 maakte 'Kaap' werk dat in verband kan worden gebracht met de geënsceneerde fotografie die toen vooral in Rotterdam opgang maakte. (...) Kaap is voortdurend op zoek naar nieuwe beelden en nieuwe toepassingen". With loosely inserted invitation for the exhibition at Galerie Jurka.
