Maarten Tromp
The neighbour, his ex and the owner of the laundrette
Maarten Tromp (Amsterdam, 1980) graduated in 2005 from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. In his works, he explores his own position as a photographer and film maker. The images often reveal his presence and the influence of the camera. His open and direct approach creates startling and intimate impressions. He himself becomes part of the story.
For the past two and a half years, he has been taking photographs in the Indische Buurt in Amsterdam. With these photos, he reflects on the current, often biased formation and representation of images, as in the media. He has created a sequence of moods and emotions, alternating day and night. The result is not only a powerful social but also a personal document.
