Susannah Stracer’s 'Another world out there' spans over three decades of outdoors photography. Although her main subject is people, it would be a mistake to call it social. No stories are being told, no deeper context is suggested. A split second of reality is captured and being transported into the universe of aesthetics. Susannah doesn’t participate, she doesn’t interfere - she takes scenes from the everyday outdoors and elevates them into the higher reality of light and shadow, lines...

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...

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, ...

These art practices reveal, in different ways, the operative role of the photographic ...
