Galerie Weisbard shows the versatile work of photographer Jan Henderik (1935-2018). Vincent Mentzel speaks highly of the man who inspired him: 'You want to enter the world that Henderik has captured'.
Unseen includes photos of the road trips he made with his wife and daughter in their converted Citroën 2 CV to India, Afghanistan and the Sahara. The photographer had his travel photos developed in beautiful cibachrome and much of his fashion photography was published in the legendary Avenue. They are interspersed with committed work, street photography, landscapes, Rotterdam images and hilarious studio recordings (poet Frans Vogel dressed as Godfather Don Corleone).
It is obvious to compare the eclectic oeuvre with Ed van der Elsken, but Jan Henderik's work is too original and diverse to stop at this comparison.
Stacii Samidin (1987)
Raw honesty, radicalism, and unfamiliar territories are the foundation of Samidin’s continuous life’s work called Societies. At the core, is the essence of seeing, hearing and accepting a human being without prejudice and judgment. Documenting the lives of minorities, the oppressed and of those with unorthodox lifestyles all around the
world. Creating a shift in the individual and collective consciousness by challenging our perception and raising the voices of the unheard through photography and film.
