Bert Teunissen: Domestic Landscapes

December 2 – March 4, 2007

Bert Teunissen made more than 300 photographs over the last ten years for his long-term photographic project Domestic Landscapes. A broad selection is being shown this winter in Huis Marseille. In various European countries he sought out the interiors of houses in which daylight still determines the furnishings, the atmosphere and the daily life of the inhabitants. Houses that were built long before the Second World War, before electricity started to have an influence on the rhythm of life. Teunissen is searching for the light that he remembers from his parental home, while at the same time documenting an authentic way of life that is disappearing under the pressure of advancing modernization and stringent EU regulations.
