A summary of the places appearing in Bas Princen’s photographs has an effect which is strange and a little disturbing: a) muddy strips between a camping site and horticultural glasshouses in South Holland, b) a former commercial forest in Brabant which was also used as a military training area for a while, c) a canal which was intended for large ships but remained unused, d) a discotheque car park, consisting of former tennis courts, in the middle of a small village somewhere south of Nijmegen, e) a hill under which nuclear waste is buried, f) the sea, etc. Why should anyone care about photographing these places and compiling the results in a book? If we make a similar summary of the activities taking place in the photos, the effect is hilarious: a) people on motorbikes driving through the mud at high speed, b) people holding fishing rods and apparently fishing in a place where no water is visible in any direction, c) people sitting in a forest wearing strange masks and capes, d) people training cameras with long telephoto lenses onto an almost invisible bird, and so on.
