Bertien Van Manen
Bertien van Manen is a dutch photographer. Her work has been published and shown around the world. Her work for "a Hundred Summers, a Hundred Winters" showed images of her travels through post-communist Sibera, Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova. The images are very much the snapshot aesthetic, and show a range of people and spaces. These images inspired me a lot with my current work. Her images show these people as being so comfortable in their spaces and yet the viewer feels as if they might not be supposed to be in on them. I want to, with my work, showcase the immigrants I'm around in a similar way. Showing how comfortable they are in their lifestyle, but that the viewer is not entitled to be fully let in.
