Tudor Bratu

Tudor Bratu Work from Album, Record, and Night Study #4. Bratu’s website is a cornucopia of projects, go visit it. ______________________ Album: “By altering the initial order of images, using blanks and empty space as image, the seemingly real of the facsimilae reproduction of the album, is contradicted by the absence and displace-ment of the […]

Eyal Pinkas

Eyal Pinkas Work from the series Covers. “Under the conditions of the camera, objects and spaces reveal themselves in a gentle process of exposure. They perform a change, showing gradually different potential appearances that assumingly originate in their own fantasies. This search for the objects’ imaginable worlds within different surroundings has become a constant departure […]

Atelier Van Lieshout

Atelier Van Lieshout Work from Sport Nouveau. “Sport Nouveau was created in the wake of Bad Furniture. This set of sport equipment has been designed with fantastic shapes, elegant forms and a noble character. The machine fits only thin people, preferably wearing silk socks. A heavier human body would break the machines, even with normal […]

Katja Mater

Katja Mater Work from Remission. Go to Mater’s website and check out her other bodies of work as well, there is a phenomonal range of work addressing conceptual aspects of the medium of photography. The titles of these pieces are fantastic, make sure you follow the words that haven’t been redacted. “Remission is something i […]

Paul Kooiker

Paul Kooiker Works from Hunting and Fishing. Bonus post! I found some more blurry / out of focus works today. My theory of all out-of-focus photography coming from German born or trained photographers is shot, Kooiker is Dutch all the way. I am fully aware that these images are spreads, but I decided to leave […]

Gert Jan Kocken

  Zeebrugge (Belgium) March 6 1987: The Herald of Free Enterprise capsizes just outside the harbour of Zeebrugge killing 192 people. On June 11 2001 Herman Brood commits suicide by jumping of the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. Voetboogstraat, On August 16th 1996 Joes Kloppenburg gets beaten up by four drunk guys. Soon after […]

Koen Hauser

Koen Hauser Work from the series De Luister van het Land, A la Recherche de l’Aventure Perdu and Opus Magnum Atomium. All of Hauser’s works have a distinct pseudo-scientific, pseudo-realistic aesthetic that reminds me of old phrenology portraits from the early years of photography.  ____________________ Galerie 37 Spaarnestad invited me to make new work with material […]

Semâ Bekirovic

Semâ Bekirovic Work from Water in water, Picture of a fire burning, Maps, and Untitled (metal ball). Bekirovic’s work drew my attention through its lighthearted, witty, linguistic, and reflexive critique of the medium. Works like Water in water, and Picture of a fire burning address the representative nature of photography in an intelligent and humorous […]

Derk Duit

Derk Duit Work from the series (un)natural and another, untitled, body of work. I was initially drawn in by Duit’s work about (my assumption here) wind / wind power in the Netherlands, and I was in the mood for some slightly more traditional photography today. His statement is short because Duit  is not a fan […]

Yvonne Lacet

Yvonne Lacet Work from the series template of a sleeping city. “For the project ‘Template of a sleeping city’ I was walking through nightly cityscapes and suburbs. The sketch-photographs I took while walking were dominated by circles, squares and rectangles; a completely abstract image showed up. These images can be seen everywhere; the night brushes […]
