The Identity of Holland | Volendam 'Aaltje'
You see a girl from Volendam, photographed by Ezra Böhm in 2021 for his first series The Identity of Holland. This series gained international acclaim and he won the Sony World Photography Awards—one of the most prestigious prizes a photographer can receive.
About the print
Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta fine art paper and framed in collaboration with the renowned artisan G&G Framing Atelier, using a thick, handmade black wooden frame. The print is float-mounted for added depth and a unique finish. The entire piece is protected behind museum glass.
The work is produced in an edition of 12 + 2 AP and comes signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
About this work
The reason I started photographing the traditional culture of my country in 2021 was that I wanted to understand who I am and where I come from today. The traditional culture in the Netherlands has largely faded into the background, while global culture increases. I wanted to explore what still exists to show that this is a very important part of the Netherlands and something we should cherish.
This work embodies everything. A dress in the most beautiful blue you can imagine, worn by a young lady—those entrusted with preserving our treasures. It is pure cultural beauty and vulnerability at the same time.
