Bertus Gerssen, Jack Carlyle in striped shirt and black kilt, The Hague, 2017

Exhibition in collaboration with the National Railways NS, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Museum de Fundatie, Noord-Brabants Museum, Drents Museum and Museum Arnhem.
I asked six photographers to make new work based on paintings from the six museum’s collections. A new generation of portrait makers thus connected to existing portraits, showing the importance of incessant reflection on prejudices and differences and the need to create a society which is not only tolerant but also respectful to people who choose to deviate from the norm.
