De afstand tussen de wereld van de koe en de consument werd de afgelopen decennia steeds groter.

Hans van der Meer woont midden in Amsterdam, maar als zijn vriend Jaap Hemke uit Aartswoud op vakantie gaat, past hij op de boerderij. En dat al bijna twintig jaar lang, waardoor hij een bijzondere belangstelling ontwikkelde voor het melkveebedrijf.

Via fotografie, film en tekst onderzoekt Van der Meer de wereld om ons heen. Zijn foto’s van amateurvoetbal in Hollandse Velden (1998) en Europea...

Starting in 2009, Wytske van Keulen continuously visited several individuals in France, the United States, and Japan who, for different reasons, chose to set aside our largely economised and de-spiritualised world. She depicts these peoples’ living environments in her series ‘Stick Holding Branch’, but the inhabitants are absent, allowing the significance of the images to shift from documentary to the realm of the image, freed from space and time. Van Keulen’s photographs are accompan...

Paul van Kempen fotografeert, schildert digital 'the tales of the underground'. Met een pointe en oog voor details zijn de kunstwerken van Paul van Kempen ook voorzien van de nodige dingetjes.

40 polaroids de chaises à Paris sont témoins de la créativité de la ville, ainsi que de son respect pour la diversité et de son charme.

Selfies werden honderd jaar geleden ook al gemaakt, ‘snapshotesthetiek’ bestond al voor de Polaroidcamera en pasfoto’s zijn ouder dan de identificatieplicht. 'De snelfotograaf. Een geschiedenis van het moderne portret' speelt zich af in de beginjaren van de twintigste eeuw, een tijd van razende snelheid en een tijd waarin veel van wat we nu als vanzelfsprekend ervaren tot stand kwam. Deze ‘moderne’ eeuw – vol ondernemingsdrift, technische vernuftigheid en transnationale handel –...

Around 1960, Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990) put together a photobook on the theme of feest (feast). Drawing from both old and new work, he produced a design that is a sequence of festive occasions: fun, celebration, dancing, music, fairs, carnivals, excitement and euphoria, but also drunkenness and exhaustion in the wee hours. He combined the individual photographs into sparkling and rhythmical pairings, so that a genuine sense of joy emanates from the pages. At the time, for reasons unknown, ...

Sekula's final work dedicated to labor solidarity in and around the docks.

Ship of Fools / The Dockers' Museum is the project on which the US artist and writer Allan Sekula worked during the last three years of his life (2010-2013). The work consists, first, of a corpus of thirty-three framed photographs and two slide projections of in total over one hundred images, all made by the artist (Ship of Fools); second, it contains a gigantic collection of various objects, graphic images, postcards,...

The operative role of the photographic media in making and remaking history.History is increasingly made in images, not only because its records are largely photographic but also because our ideas about the past are formed in visual terms. This book offers a discussion of contemporary art practices which question the received notions of historical representations after the pivotal changes of 1989 in Europe. These art practices reveal, in different ways, the operative role of the photographic ...

The book "Windows of Opportunity" presents a selection of photographic work by the artist and poet Quinten De Coene. Jumping from black and white to coloured work, the eclectic series seeks to find associations between images that have been taken at random moments.

Rather than presenting a series chronologically, De Coene seeks out a series based on contrasts, composition and colours. This process allows him to detach the photograph from its meaning of time and place, and reimagine the pictor...
