NEIGHBOURS IN BIEDERBERG FINDERS AMSTERDAM

HERMAN VAN DEN BOOM – NEIGHBOURS / BUREN


Herman van den Boom is a Dutch/Belgium photographer recently featured in an acclaimed five-part series “Belgium in Focus”(2016), re-broadcast on AVRO KUNSTUUR February12th 2017. The documentary showcases prominent Belgian photographers recording their visual impressions of that country. Van den Boom seeks the motifs for his ‘Neighbours’ series while driving around Belgium with his camera, meandering over country roads and through residential areas, dog Kreta in tow.
“The worlds I display in the Neighbours series are Belgian semi-detached houses; that is, two individual houses riveted together into a whole. You see this in other countries, but in Belgium, this phenomenon is manifested in a particular way”, according to Herman van den Boom.
The houses and buildings van den Boom photographs are characterised by the uniquely individual design and particular taste of their occupants. They are not intended to be a pair; these different, and often architecturally contradictory and confusing combinations are born of coincidence. In the land of Magritte, they reflect the grotesque, the absurd and the surreal, e.g., Swiss Alpine style meeting contemporary design aesthetic. 
This is architecture as an expression of history and culture as well as an individual creative will but also of great tolerance, freedom of expression and thought among the Belgian population, even between close neighbors. 
“My photos are studies of the ‘human landscape’. They are metaphors which question who we are and how we live. I document the world as it appears to me. I don’t climb a ladder or lie on my stomach to make photos and I exclude from the start the use of any editing or manipulation with Photoshop”, says Van den Boom.
Herman van den Boom was born in 1950 in Essen (Belgium), the son of a Dutch architect and a Belgian mother, the daughter of a Belgian architect.
He attended the Design Academy Eindhoven, the Konstfackskolan in Stockholm and AKI Enschede, and has travelled extensively, spending a long time in America. He studied with Coosje van Bruggen and the Amsterdam photographer Cor Jaring. In 1968, he first saw the photos of Bernd and Hilla Becher in the Van Abbemuseum, and, in 1970, their exhibition “Anonieme Sculpturen” in the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden. His work is widely exhibited and he has received several international awards, including the Sony World Photography Awards. Van den Boom’s work is in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the FOMU in Antwerp, and the Musée de la Photographie in Charleroi.

  1. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
