Signed; Anja de Jong - The Borderland Project - 2004

The Borderland Project is a photographic investigation of no-man's-land, the transitional areas between natural and cultural landscapes where humans figure as strangers. Anja de Jong selected locations worldwide based on their landscape, climate, and human activity, where the struggle between humans and nature for these areas is still ongoing and the outcome uncertain. She was fascinated by photographing both landscapes themselves and the traces left by humans within them. The areas depicted are divided into cold to extremely cold regions, high altitude regions, coastal regions, and warm to extremely warm regions, where the "border" between the natural and cultural landscapes is always the subject of her "impressive black-and-white photography." The book shows 58 black-and-white and 3 colour photographs from Anja de Jong. Alongside these images, the authors Bernlef and Jan Brokken reflect on the borderland landscape from their own experience, scenic connoisseur Rik Herngreen writes about the perception of landscape in The Netherlands and art historian Tineke de Ruiter gives The Borderland Project a place in the photographic portrayal of the landscape. All texts are written in English as well as in Dutch.
