Lobby - Between Green Deals and Ideals

LOBBY – Between Green Deals and Ideals is a photographic research project by Suzanne Schols, once a lobbyist and now a photographer, that aims to increase the visibility and transparency of the world of lobbying.

A Poet Photographer

To mark the centenary of the birth of the versatile artist Lucebert (1924 – 1994), in 2024 the Fotomuseum Den Haag is hosting an intimate exhibition that highlights his photography. Lucebert is best known as a painter and poet. That he was also a fanatical photographer for a brief period is less well known.

In the first part of the project shown here, the photographers focus on climate anxiety. This psychological phenomenon is especially prevalent among young people, who are...

Solar Section One

Over the last ten years, the distinction between ‘autonomous’ and ‘applied’ photography has become increasingly blurred. Since around 1995, a new generation of photographers has emerged in the Netherlands: a generation capable of switching without apparent effort or loss of identity and personal style from the creation of works for the gallery wall to the production of photographs for magazines...

Skin Ego

In Laura Hospes’s first solo museum exhibition, we can almost touch her skin. In her work, Hospes (NL, 1994) painstakingly explores her complicated relationship with her own body. She visually dissects it in her photographs, videos, installations and performances, ruthlessly capturing every detail. She sculpts and manipulates her body by assuming contorted postures and by applying materials such...
