Gilleam Trapenberg on his practice
Gilleam Trapenberg is a photographer who focuses on representation, westernization and status within the Caribbean. Through his work, Trapenberg reflects on the contradictions that are part of the social landscape in Curaçao, were the idea of a utopian paradise is diametrically opposed to the realities of post-colonialism and tourism. He explores stereotypes and tropes that have manifested themselves through social culture and the Western media.
