Photographers in the Netherlands 1852-2002

Mortalis

Photographs of the dead have existed since the very earliest days of photography. This exhibition reflects the theme of this year’s Dutch Book Week, ‘Life and death in literature’ and examines images of death in photography on the basis of three types of material: examples of nineteenth and twentieth-century funerary portrait photography, photographs of deceased celebrities like Marilyn Monroe...

Fault Line

Over the next few years, Hague-based photographers Jakob Ganslmeier (Germany, 1990) and Ana Zibelnik (SIovenia, 1995) will be working on Fault Line, a project about the impact of the climate crisis on Southern Europe. In the first part of the project shown here, the photographers focus on climate anxiety. This psychological phenomenon is especially prevalent among young people, who are...

She sculpts and manipulates her body by assuming contorted postures and by applying materials such...

Emmy Andriesse (1914-1953)

Emmy Andriesse (b. 1914, The Hague), who died at a tragically early age, is one of the most significant Dutch photographers of the 20th century. Andriesse recorded the 1944 famine known as the ‘Hunger Winter’, the Netherlands’ liberation by the Allies in 1945 and the first postwar years of struggle and reconstruction. Her haunting shot of the ‘little boy with the pan’ – a lone, malnourished child...
