Hans van der Meer and Bertien van Manen are both on the top of contemporary Dutch photography. The exhibition of Ludwig Museum is presenting two independent materials in a single space, offering broader opportunities for association between the images of the two artists.

Hans van der Meer has been engaged since 1995 in photographing the grounds and matches of amateur football teams, touring about the regions of the Netherlands, Flemish-Belgium and other Europe. By his large-sized, hard edge pictures he is citing the sport photos of the first half of the twentieth century. He is recording the totality and the environments of the grounds, as well as details emerging as "accidental elements" upon shooting, connecting the genres of sport photo and landscape image with the empathic humour characteristic for him. His series has been published also on the pages of various sports papers and magazines, then it was enlarged in the course of various commissions and became known all over Europe. The exhibition is complemented with videos prepared for the series.
Bertien van Manen began her career as fashion photographer, then she turned to documentary photography. In the course of her journeys she is photographing people living on various points of the world and their environments. She prepared a series about China and about "the other, non-official" Russia. The most recent example of her lyric work woven with intimacy is entitled Give me your image. She prepares photos in the quality of amateur images, in home environment, in family photos, recording the documents, personal souvenirs of the lives and faces of various people at various sites. She is inquiring in the basic issues of the link between a photo and the recorded time, exploring the role photos play in remembrance.
The joint presentation of the two photo artists displays the different ways of photography, attached to the controversies of community and individuum, outside and inside.
The exhibition is part of the LOW Dutch-Flemish Cultural Festival.
The European Fields is presented by Paradox.
