The Europeans by Pim Milo
Impatiently people are waiting for the traffic lights to turn green in order to cross the street. Time is filled in with watching. Nothing escapes the restless eye. Everything and everybody is gazed at intrusively. With a casual or candid look people observe their immediate surroundings. It seems impossible to take a picture of this mass of people that is peering around without them noticing it. Still it can be done, because there is no eye contact with the photographer, there is no visible reaction? Reinier Gerritsen reaches this candid result by dressing up in a fluorescent safety jacket, which changes him from a curious photographer into a land surveyor who works for the local council and makes his observations. This changes him from an intruder on other people's privacy into someone who is part of the ordinary street scene. By dressing up in a grotesque suit, he trivializes his presence and becomes therefore invisible. Gerritsen aims his lens at the masses. He already did this in ten European cities. In medium shots from head to hips, about the same way we ourselves look at our fellow human beings, he draws the individual from the faceless masses and presents us with a fascinating spectacle. For don't we all like to spy on each other? Gerritsen is obsessed by body language which betrays in which mood a human being finds himself. In those different poses he sees the choreography of a personal expression. It is an almost cinematographic experience when he observes groups of moving and waiting people through his camera lens. All pictures show us the same mix of people, no matter the city or the country where the photo was taken. As a cultural sociologic document these photos form a typology of the multi cultural society in the unstoppable and unmistaken European unification process. Lees verder ...
