Repositioning Documentary. Introduction (Nieuwe Plaatsbepaling voor de documentaire. Verantwoording)

For some time, documentary photography has been losing its
position in the printed media. The alternative, the art circuit,
has many pitfalls. For the Amsterdam Art Fair (KunstRai 1991),
the author put together an exhibition of projects by 6
photographers who feel comfortable in this environment, without
renouncing however, their photographic background. In this
article, the author justifies the exhibit. Introduced are the
following photographers: Seiichi Furuya, Alfredo Jaar, Julian
Germain, Karen Knorr, Nan Goldin and Hans Aarsman.
