The photojournalist Sem Presser (1917-1986) literally took the whole world as the field for his endeavours. He produced reports from the South Pole, former Dutch New Guinea, Korea, the United States, Suriname, Africa and a host of other places. But he also worked closer to home, in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. With subtle humour and an eye for sometimes absurd details, he recorded his fellow man. Street scenes become almost surreal tableaux vivants.
