Aperture Foundation
A Conversation with Bert Teunissen and Jörg Colberg
Over the past decade, Dutch photographer Bert Teunissen has documented hundreds of old European homes. The homes in his series Domestic Landscapes were built before the World Wars, before electricity was a standard feature, a time when sunlight played a pivotal role in the conception of architecture. Teunissen renders these last vestiges of old Europe with a palette and sensitivity to light that recall Dutch masters like Vermeer and Rembrandt. Unfortunately, though, the homes pictured in
Domestic Landscapes
(Aperture, May 2007) are quickly disappearing due to urbanization and new European Union legislation.
