Sterke verhalen

Together with the Dutch Photo Museum, Lecturis publishes 'Strong Stories'. This book appears as a result of the exhibition of the same name, which will be visible in the museum again after 1 June 2020. This publication shows an excerpt from the rich collection of the Dutch Photo Museum, with ten chapters each addressing a current social or just everyday theme, such as power, migration, wealth or football. Each subject is approached from the perspective of two photographers. Their series engage in a visual dialogue with each other, using similarities or contradictions. Strong stories fit in with the museum's course: photography from the Netherlands is central and in particular the museum's own collection. Strong Stories contains powerful images that tell visual stories that make a difference and strike the viewer. Photographers like Katharina Behrend, the woman behind the first archive in the museum's collection. Or the exceptional photos of the sky, taken by Frits Lamberts during World War II. The images he composed of the condensation traces of allied planes, streaks in the sky, are unique. In addition, image of Hein Wertheimer, Frits J. Rotgans, Hans Eijkelboom, Lamia Naji, Maria Toby, Ata Kandó, Ad van Denderen, Sanne Sannes, Wally Elenbaas, Esther Hartog, Kees Molkenboer, Hans van der Meer, Cas Oorthuys, Hans Aarsman, Gregor Krause, Johannes Rombouts, Cobie Douma, Jacqueline Hassink and Peter Martens.
