Typical Dutch

Typical Dutch’ shows what the Netherlands looks like, a country in which the urge to stand out and the urge to belong fight for precedence. In recent years Jan Dirk van der Burg known from the newspapers NRC and de Volkskrant, who is also ‘Fotograaf des Vaderlands’ (Photographer of the Netherlands), travelled the country to capture it in pictures. ‘Typical Dutch’ bundles Van der Burg’s remarkable photo series into a bizarre portrait of a country that considers itself very ordinary. If you think you know the Netherlands, buy this book.
