What could these photos be a reminder of?

LUMCWomen

Deze foto herinnert ons eraan dat onze carrière begint met nieuwsgierigheid, durven kijken, vragen stellen en openstaan voor wat nog kan worden.

The boy with caterpillar captures a moment of wonder. The boy is attentively observing something that is small and fragile that will, over time, grow and transform. Like the child in the photograph, we as young employees at LUMC are at the beginning of a phase in which development and discovery take center stage. This photograph reminds us that our careers begin with curiosity, the courage to observe, to ask questions, and to remain open to what is yet to come.

About the work

Proud, powerful and self-confident African women are the main subject in the photographs of Angèle Etoundi Essamba (1963).

With her photographic representations, Etoundi Essamba gives a new and personal interpretation of contemporary Africa. Hence the title of the series: Reminiscense - a story about the past as it is remembered by the narrator.

Black and white photos, 75.7 x 62 cm. 1998
