The Great Outdoors
The Great Outdoors
Due to the crisis, homelessness is on the rise again in The Netherlands. Some seek shelter in the woods and parks in and around the city of Breda.
Hidden away from the citizen’s eye. Each coping in his own way.
Visually the similarity with recreational camping and survival sports can be deceptive. In the end however it’s a whole different beast altogether.
This series is a spin-off of the ‘Huisje, Boompje’ project which was initiated by Academie voor Beeldvorming in cooperation with Graphic Design Festival Breda and SMO Breda (Hans Diks). The project aimed to make and impact on public opinion regarding homelessness. ‘The Great Outdoors’ has been featured as an independent project at Bredaphoto International Photo Festival 2016.
