BRIGHTON PHOTO BIENNIAL #2

WOUT BERGER





Dutch photographer Wout Bergers' most recent works were taken in a neighbourhood just outside Amsterdam; a village called Ruigoord which has a longstanding reputation as an artistic oasis.  Through these photos, Berger typically draws on the tension between form and content, real and artificial nature.  The impressionistic qualities within these photos are stunning, displaying a painterly beauty that is rarely seen in the medium, but they also pull in an essence of crispness, only ever seen within printed textiles.  They are photos that inspire print on fabric.
