Guided Tour by Harry Cock
Portraits, industrial photography, architecture, still-lifes, landscapes, the ups and downs of everyday life: it is all to be found in the work of the Groningen photographer Harry Cock. His photographs are primarily done in the north of the country, and are shown in both regional and national venues. One of his central themes is how people seek to hang on in the face of changing circumstances. Equally striking is his nimble and humorous approach.
