Bas Princen (*1975 in Zeeland, Netherlands) belongs to a generation of photographers who, in their own way, refer to the so-called New Topographies. This group of ten renowned landscape photographers, including Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Stephen Shore, and, of course, Bernd and Hilla Becher, achieved their first major international success in 1975 with an exhibition of the same name at George Eastman House in Rochester. While they distanced themselves from subjective photography in an attempt to depict harsh reality as faithfully as possible, Princen objectifies urban space in a comparable manner, but with an ironic twist. Seen through Princen's lens, anonymous urban architecture takes on an almost magical, slightly surreal air.
