Terra Cognita - Urban Jungle
Eric Jan van de Geer
Eric Jan van de Geer
The photographer Eric Jan van de Geer is interested in commonplace things that usually escape our notice. In PRIVATE LANDSCAPE II he recorded front gardens during the night hours. The photos are shot on landscape format Polaroid film. This was not from nostalgic considerations, but for the restrictions that the material brings with it, which force the artist to make hard choices.
