Work in Progress is a series of exhibitions that the ACF has created about the creative process. It is a discussion between photographers, but this time it is not around a table, but on the walls. In this last exhibition The Vision, 9 photographers show, with their recent work, the divergent angles in the making of a portrait. ACF has chosen a broad cross-section of photographers in their approaches, and also from the generations to which they belong. The result is an exhibition that display the diverse approaches in the visions of portrait photography.
The photographers in this exhibition are:
Reinier Gerritsen
Ringel Goslinga
Cuny Janssen
Judith Jockel
Annaleen Louwes
Bertien van Manen
Jocelyne Moreau
Rob van der Nol
Mirjana Vrbaski
Rob van der Nol presents the installation Pestalozzi. This installation visualises the moment of transition in the child's first school-day, between dreamworlds and society's rules and realities.
Pestalozzi is part of his project Erste Schulgang (First Schoolday) that is made possible by a grant from the BKVB. The title Pestalozzi is dedicated to Pestalozzi-Fröbelhaus, a school in Berlin for children with learning disabilities, which has helped him in the realisation of the project.
