“Contouren consists of recent black and white photographs. By juxtaposing photos of curiosities found within a seemingly well-organised, flat landscape, the book initiates a play with these elements, each with their own character. Contouren is a poetic take on the Dutch landscape and comprises 27 black and white photos and six scans printed with blue ink.”
Jordi de Vetten describes his photographs as a visual testament to the mundane as found in the landscape. While moving past houses and photographing roads, he stumbles upon the most everyday but unusual scenery. From nondescript homes and shadows cast over empty fields to a crumpled electrical transmission tower, scattered jigsaw puzzle pieces, and a piano that seems to have been left behind in a park, the images kindle the observer’s curiosity despite their anonymous and unremarkable appearance.
