tomorrow at the Gallery of Classical Photography opens to the public exhibition of the famous Dutch photographer Eric Heyvege (Erik Hijweege) «Holland." 36 large-format photos of size 1.25 x 1.6 m narrate modern Netherlands.
Netherlands - secure, well-organized and incredibly beautiful country, but at the same time it is a country facing a thoughtful and in yourself. Understand their place in a rapidly changing world - not an easy task. In search of the answer is always useful to look around.
For three years, Eric Heyvege traveled the length and breadth of the Netherlands in constant search of places that tell about the current state of the nation. His open look combines coverage of the big picture with attention to the surprising and important detail. Classic camera format 8 x 10 inches allows an approach is not typical of contemporary photographers - before shooting the picture and think carefully scrutinize it, only then it makes sense to begin to install the tripod and camera. Using shifts the lens and film plane, Eric Heyvege selects the focus position in their photographs so that it directed the viewer's eye. Photo artist looks at his subjects with the highest point: it sets the camera on the windswept roof of the 21-story hotel, or uses a hydraulic platform to as high as possible to raise the camera in the middle of the field.

Abandoned Pier Port of Rotterdam are finding a new use: where the earlier European immigrants sank on large ships, sailing to distant America, today towering modern buildings and trendy hotel, decorating a coast. In the new business district of the capital Zeydas banks are still affected by the consequences of the financial crisis, the society presents them with difficult questions about the moral component of the banking business and the need to update the classic model of capitalism.

His photographs are very small figures of people, but these "midgets" worked tirelessly over the formation of new circuits Netherlands: they build with their own hands a wooden fence storm the church in Shoklande, seven million bulbs are planted tulips in Keukenhof park or turn Schiphol is one of the leading airports Europe.
building blocks of the foundation on which the beginning of the XXI century is being built building new Netherlands - is the foundation, which is much stronger and more stable than it seems doubtful.
