Former 'Photographer of the Nation' (Fotograaf des Vaderlands) Jan Dirk van der Burg (1978) writes columns for de Volkskrant and NRC, performs his 'photo-comedy' act, and has published several photobooks, including Olifantenpaadjes (2011), Nederland onder het systeemplafond (2020), Typisch Nederland (2022), and Waar wil je me hebben? (2025). Van der Burg creates photographic series centered on specific themes; once assembled into a series, the humor inherent in the images becomes apparent.
'Simply different' (Gewoon anders). Is it ordinary, or is it different? Or is it entirely natural to simply do things differently? At the Pennings Foundation, he presents ordinary photographs that, when viewed together, earn the label 'simply different.'
Friday, January 8, 2027, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Fotokafeine—a surprise-filled evening featuring Jan Dirk van der Burg.
