Abstract

Wout Berger has contributed greatly to the revival of a form of ‘topographic’ landscape photography in the Netherlands. Inspired by American landscape photography of the 1970s and ’80s, he combined a fascination for the cultural landscape with a detached, registrational photographic method achieved with a technical camera. Berger’s somewhat overexposed, etherial landscape photos have influenced a variety of photographers in the Netherlands. The series Toegangswegen tot Amsterdam (‘Roads Leading into Amsterdam’), Giflandschap (‘Poisoned Landscape’) and Ruigoord are considered his most important work. One can nevertheless distinguish other episodes in his life as a photographer, each with its own focus. More than from a theoretical or conceptual approach, Berger’s work is derived from his enduring interest in experimenting with observation and photographic technique.

Biography


1941	On 29 December, Wouter Johannes (Wout) Berger is born in Ridderkerk as the son of Cornelis Berger and his wife Klaziena Berger-Toller. Wout’s father is a member of the Dutch Reformed Church and a family doctor working out of his home. The family resides at Donckselaan 4 in Ridderkerk. Wout is the youngest of seven children. There are five sons and two daughters, with the eldest child twelve years his senior.
1945	On 8 May—shortly after the liberation of the Netherlands—Wout loses his father in a dramatic incident at the age of three. Cornelis Berger is executed by a German firing squad in his own backyard stemming from a skirmish between members of the Dutch resistance staying at Berger’s home and German soldiers as yet quartered in a neighbouring house. Three months after this incident, Klaziena Berger and her seven children move to Stadhouderslaan 6 in the Hillegersberg neighbourhood of Rotterdam.
1946-’54	Wout Berger attends the Nassau School, a Christian primary school in Rotterdam.
1954-’62	Berger first attends the MULO (Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs, a lower-level secondary school), followed by the Christian HBS North (Hogere Burgerschool, an upper-level secondary school) in Rotterdam, where he passes his final exam in 1962.
1963	Berger attends the Fotovakschool (‘Vocational School of Photography’) in The Hague, together with his friend Piet van Leeuwen.
1965	Piet van Leeuwen and Wout Berger leave the Fotovakschool prematurely, based on their mutual desire to focus more on the creative versus the technical side of photography. Berger takes an abridged, written correspondence course at the Fotovakschool in Apeldoorn and receives his diploma as a photographer.
Mid-1960s	For several years, Berger’s principal source of income is a job working two nights a week as a ‘tallyman’, i.e. monitoring cargo shipments in the port of Rotterdam. In this same period, Berger does reportage wedding photography for friends and acquaintances. In addition, Berger produces self-devised fashion photos of his own accord and as well for ‘Puck & Hans’, a unique Rotterdam clothing boutique run by friends of Berger’s.
1968	In May, Wout Berger weds Marjolijn Juray, an artist who paints and works with ceramics and other media. The couple moves to Spoorsingel 69 in Rotterdam. On 7 December, a daughter is born, ‘Sanne Mari’.
	Wout Berger receives his first assignment from the influential Dutch fashion magazine Avenue for a fashion reportage. Berger goes on to shoot fashion series on a regular basis for the same magazine, including several assignments done in collaboration with Piet van Leeuwen.
	Berger receives his first assignment in the area of advertising photography from the Lintas advertising agency, a firm associated with Unilever. The product is the margarine brand Becel. Berger becomes friends with the agency’s art director Jan Hendrik and more projects follow. Berger’s photos are featured in high-profile advertisements for products such as the cigarette brand Belinda and a promotional campaign for milk.
1971	The Berger family moves to a farm at Broekermeerdijk 25 in Broek in Waterland. In the coming years, Berger regularly collaborates with Piet van Leeuwen on assignments commissioned by the advertising agency FH&V (Franzen, Hey and Veltman) in Amsterdam. Their projects include shooting photos for a promotional campaign involving milk.
1975–Present	Wout Berger and Marjolijn Juray divorce. The couple sells their farm, with each subsequently proceeding to buy their own home. Wout Berger moves to Uitdammer Dorpsstraat 51 in Uitdam, a house on the dike bordering the vast waters of the IJ, where he lives to the present day.
	In the same year of Bergen’s divorce, Noor Damen moves in with him. At this time, Damen is a costume designer for dance theatre groups, including the company of Krisztina de Châtel and the BEWTH movement theatre.
1977	Noor Damen and Wout Berger are frequent visitors to the hippie colony at Ruigoord, where they come into contact with the photographers Gerda van der Veen and Ed van der Elsken.
1980	Wout Berger stops with advertising photography. He buys a technical camera and devotes an increasing amount of time to his autonomous work.
	Berger instructs Damen in photography. Her interest gradually shifts more in the direction of photography than costume design.
1984-‘92	Berger receives a working subsidy to photograph in Ireland. The main theme of this project is ‘time laps’: the passing of time made visible through photography.
	In 1984, Wout Berger’s work is added to a public collection for the first time: curator Els Barents acquires photos for the collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, including the series Watching the Waterflow.
	Introduced by Gerda van der Veen, Berger becomes a member of the GKf (Gebonden Kunsten Federatie, vakgroep fotografie, ‘United Arts Federation, Department of Photography’). He will remain a member until circa 1992. Through the GKf, Berger comes into contact with photographers such as Hans Aarsman and Henze Boekhout, whom he befriends.
1986	Together with Hans Aarsman, Taco Anema, and Frits Gerritsen, Berger sits on the GKf’s exhibition committee responsible for the exhibition 100 Meter foto in het Stedelijk (‘100 Meters of Photos at the Stedelijk’) at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
1986-2003	During these years, Berger teaches photography (as an elective for ‘Autonomous Art’) at the ABK (Academie van Beeldende Kunsten en Technische Wetenschappen, ‘Academy of Visual Arts and Technical Sciences’, from 1998 on the Willem de Kooning Academy) in Rotterdam.
1987	The SKOR Foundation (Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte, ‘Art and Public Space Foundation’) commissions Berger and six other photographers to capture ‘the West-Frisian landscape’. Each of the series are meant to help residents and visitors at the Verpleeghuis Lindendael, an elderly care facility in Hoorn, to recall the landscape from which they originated. Berger rents a mobile boom lift and photographs the surroundings of the nursing home from above.
1991	The AFK (Stichting Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, ‘Amsterdam Fund for the Arts’) commissions Berger for the documentary photo assignment, this year centring on the theme of Toegangswegen tot Amsterdam (‘Roads Leading into Amsterdam’). Here too Berger photographs from a boom lift.
1992	Berger’s first photobook Giflandschap (‘Poisoned Landscape’) is published by Uitgeverij Fragment.
	Berger’s work is shown at the Perspektief Gallery in connection with the Photography Biennial Rotterdam, based on the theme Wasteland. Landscape from Now On.
	The Ministry of WVC (Welzijn, Volksgezondheid en Cultuur, ‘Welfare, Public Health and Culture’) commissions Wout Berger, Wijnanda Deroo, and Mirjam de Zeeuw to work on a project. Berger produces photos—on a one-time basis—in collage technique. His six collages address the following themes: ‘colonial history’, ‘shipping’, ‘painting’, ‘anatomy’, ‘typography’ and ‘war’. These works are published in the book Het eeuwige moment. Een fotografische visie op het cultuurbehoud door Wijnanda Deroo, Mirjam de Zeeuw en Wout Berger (‘The Eternal Moment. A Photographic Perspective on Cultural Preservation’). An exhibition displaying the project results is also held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
1998–Present	Berger places his work under the charge of the Van Kranendonk Gallery in The Hague. From this time forward, his work is shown at both art and photography fairs, e.g. Paris Photo.
	Berger regularly takes part in (group) exhibitions and presentations outside the Netherlands, including Trade (Winterthur Photo Museum, Switzerland, 2001), In Sight (The Art Institute of Chicago, 2005), Nature as Artifice (Neue Pinakothek, Munich; George Eastman House, Rochester; Aperture Gallery, New York; 2008/2009) and New Ways of Looking (Brighton Photo Biennial, 2010).
From ca. 2000	Berger aims his camera downward and takes photos ‘with no horizon’, e.g. for the series Ruigoord and his so-called ‘landscape still lifes’.
2001	Wout Berger and Noor Damen shoot photos together for the project Zand water veen / Harena aqua palus (‘Sand Water Moor’), commissioned by the Province of South Holland.
2003	On assignment for Stichting Atelier HSL (‘High-Speed Railway Studio Foundation’) and in collaboration with the SKOR Foundation, Berger photographs the future route of high-speed trains between Hoofddorp and the Belgian border (HSL South, the railway line running from Amsterdam to Antwerp). For this assignment, Berger again photographs from a boom lift and zooms in on the building construction below. The Rijksmuseum subsequently acquires the photos.
2009	Berger produces his second photobook, entitled Like Birds.

Discussion

Wout Berger’s interest in photography developed while in secondary school at the HBS (Hogere Burgerschool, an upper-level study programme). He photographed with an Agfa Clack camera, which he had purchased himself. Berger was advised to contact Piet van Leeuwen, who was also experimenting with photography on an amateur basis and lived in nearby Schiebroek. Like Berger, Van Leeuwen would also go on to become a recognised professional photographer. After their initial meeting, the two men would continue to exchange numerous thoughts about photography for years to come. They applied to the Fotovakschool (‘Vocational School of Photography’) at the same time and collaborated in their work on several occasions.

Berger’s commercial fashion and advertising photography, which he started in 1968 and continued well into the 1970s, is less well known than his landscape photography. Just as with his wedding reportage photographic work for friends and acquaintances, the Dutch landscape was also a common feature in his fashion and advertising work, i.e. as a background for his models. Berger furnished promotional photography to advertising agencies and did fashion reportages for various Dutch magazines. For quite some time—from 1968 to about 1980 on a very frequent basis, with a final series in 1988—he did photo shoots for the fashion and lifestyle magazine Avenue, which was popular in the Netherlands and important for photographers.

Berger often worked together with Piet van Leeuwen on fashion and advertising assignments. Van Leeuwen’s specialty in this collaboration was his snapshot style, while Berger’s trademark became the Dutch landscape, with its dunes and forests, but also the ‘wastelands’ of the port of Rotterdam, as locations for photographing his models. Berger distinguished himself by experimenting in a variety of ways, for instance by applying collage techniques and colourising his photos.

In the late 1960s through the ’70s, photographers and art directors working for magazines and advertising agencies were still enjoying a great deal of artistic freedom. Marketing had not yet been developed and the word ‘target group’ was as yet virtually non-existent. During this period, starting in the early 1970s, the function of ‘account executive’ began to emerge as someone who acted as an intermediary between the client and the advertising firm with its photographers. Account executives were formulating target groups along with their perceived qualities with ever-increasing specificity, from which stipulations were devised that were then passed on to the photographer. There was also a growing demand for photography produced in the studio with technically advanced equipment. It was precisely for this reason that Berger began to lose interest in fashion and advertising photography, as he cherished his artistic freedom and wished to continue photographing outdoors. Around 1980, he dramatically cut back on the amount of work he was doing in this sector. The models disappeared from Berger’s images, leaving only the landscape, which from that point forward garnered all of his attention.

This shift in scope—from commercial fashion and advertising photography to autonomous landscape photography—marked the start of a period in which Berger would achieve his most innovative and influential work. In the late 1970s, Berger’s new life partner, Noor Damen, introduced him to Ruigoord, an alternative living community in the vicinity of Amsterdam. It was at Ruigoord that he first came into contact with the photography duo Gerda van der Veen and Ed van der Elsken, and others. It was Van der Veen who introduced Berger at the GKf (Gebonden Kunsten Federatie, vakgroep fotografie, ‘United Arts Federation, Department of Photography’) in Amsterdam in 1984. The GKf was an association for photographers that had been established after World War II, to which numerous leading photographers in the Netherlands belonged. At this time, new members were accepted only after a highly stringent balloting round. In the GKf, Berger connected with other photographers seeking innovation in the idealistic and visual jargon of post-war documentary photography. He himself introduced a number of formal, stylistic, and substantive changes, born of his fascination with photographic technique.

For example, Berger was interested in printing his own colour photography with the negative-positive process (the ‘chromogenic colour print’ or ‘C-print’). The only other person he knew who applied the same process was the photographer Jean Ruiter. Generally speaking, colour printing was done in professional photo laboratories. The lack of interest in colour photography among many photographers was not only linked to the high expense. Well into the 1980s, commercial fashion and advertising photography, on the one hand, and autonomous documentary photography on the other, were two totally distinct categories. The predominant notion was that colour was ‘slick’ and therefore exclusively suitable for commercial photographers. Colour was a tool not found in the repository of documentary photographers working autonomously. The few who did on occasion photograph in colour, e.g. Ed van der Elsken, typically turned to 35 mm slide film. Colour slides, however, were often seen as ‘marginal elements’ in a photographer’s oeuvre. Berger was one of the first photographers to further specialise in producing his own colour photos. Van der Elsken was among those who visited his darkroom, in order to observe how this was done.

The use of a technical camera was a second element that Berger introduced to photographers working autonomously. Works by the American photographers/artists Stephen Shore and Lewis Baltz, which he had seen in photobooks, had been a major revelation for him. They spoke to his desire for a more detached and serene form of photography, one in which the photographer’s intentions and message vanished into the background—a desire that Berger shared with other innovators in Dutch photography, including Hans Aarsman. The 35-mm camera gave the photographer the utmost mobility, allowing him to follow his subject’s every move while maintaining a dynamic presence at the heart of the action. The technical camera, by contrast, was extremely static. Sheerly based on its size, weight, and the necessity for a tripod, the technical camera entailed a slow approach to working, as well as a careful technical planning and adjustment. As a teacher at the ABK (Academie van Beeldende Kunsten en Technische Wetenschappen, ‘Academy of Visual Arts and Technical Sciences’) in Rotterdam, Berger also instructed a younger generation of architectural and urban photographers in how to work with a technical camera, including Ralph Kämena and Frank van der Salm.

Berger took his yearning for a detached photography to the extreme. In 1988, he began working with extraordinarily high vantage points, thus forming the third element with which he distinguished himself in Dutch photography. For a project commissioned by SKOR (Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte, ‘Art and Public Space Foundation’), Berger photographed—his first time to do so from a boom lift—the ‘West Frisian landscape’ on behalf of the ‘Omring Verpleeghuis Lindendael’ (an elderly care facility) in Hoorn. For Berger, the high vantage point represented the ‘divine perspective’, looking down upon the living environment familiar to the elderly person. Based on his interest in the abstract image that arose from this approach, Berger further developed his technique of shooting photos from above, using boom lifts and model aircraft. In 1991 and ’92, he again chose a high vantage point to shoot photos of several roads leading into Amsterdam for a documentary assignment commissioned by the AFK (Stichting Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, ‘Amsterdam Fund for the Arts’). Berger was continually seeking that distance at which abstraction arose, introducing an element of tension to the level of realism in the image. The series received substantial publicity and was avidly discussed by photographers and photography historians.

The detached style of photographing with a technical camera as introduced by Wout Berger in his series Toegangswegen tot Amsterdam (‘Roads Leading into Amsterdam’, 1991) and his first book Giflandschap (‘Poisoned Landscape’, 1992)—together with the publication and exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam of Hans Aarsman’s Hollandse Taferelen (“Dutch Scenes’, 1989) and the photographer Jannes Linders’ Landschap in Nederland (‘Landscape in the Netherlands, 1990)—contributed significantly to a revival of ‘topographic’ landscape photography in the Netherlands. As applied here, the term ‘topographic’ refers to a combination of a registrational and detached style of photography, with a substantive interest in the man-altered landscape. Its use as a stylistic description for a movement in photography originates from the exhibition New Topographics. Photographs of a Man-altered Landscape, held at the George Eastman House in the United States in 1975. ‘New’ was in reference to the revival of the ‘old’ topographic photography produced in the nineteenth century, which involved photographers carrying cumbersome large-format cameras and venturing out to visually map a landscape.

In the 1980s, the work of the American photographers involved in this movement, e.g. Stephen Shore, Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, and Walker Evans, was being circulated among photographers in the Netherlands, chiefly in book format. On occasion—albeit much later and far less frequently than, for instance, in the United Kingdom and the US—a similar exhibition of landscape photography was likewise organised in the Netherlands during this period. Berger personally held a high regard for the exhibitions Jean-Marc Bustamante: Landschappen [‘Landscapes’] 1978-1982 at the Paul Andriesse Gallery in Amsterdam and the exhibition Lewis Baltz: Five Projects 1983–1988 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Starting in the late 1980s, German photographers such as Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, and Thomas Struth developed the themes and approaches to topographic landscape photography even further by introducing colour, large formats, periodically extensive (digital) manipulations, and an orientation towards highly industrialised and urbanised areas.

The series and the book Giflandschap, which Berger worked on from 1988 to 1992, shared certain elements encountered in these forms of photography from abroad. There are a number of explanations why this photo series made such a big impression on the Dutch cultural scene. First and foremost, the marked absence of people in Berger’s photos was striking. Secondly, Berger ‘s focus lay not on nature in its untainted form, as was the case with other landscape artists and photographers, but on those locations where traces of a human presence had been left behind. Jannes Linders’ series Landschap in Nederland as well evoked the same reactions during this period. A final reason why Giflandschap created such a stir was the tension between form and content in his photos. For the subject of his photos, Berger chose the contrast between what one knows about a place and how it looks in reality. In Giflandschap, his starting point was a list of the most polluted places in the Netherlands. The list had been receiving substantial publicity at this time due to recently passed legislation, which stipulated that instigators of pollution were to be held responsible for the cost of combating that pollution. According to Berger, the then current political reality led to a quicker acceptance of Giflandschap, in an artistic climate where politically engaged art was still greatly valued. Berger, however, was much more interested in the contradiction that places having a negative connotation could also hold remarkable beauty. Working around this discrepancy influenced other Dutch artists as well, including Gert Jan Kocken, who made the series Rampplekken (‘Disaster Places’) in 1999.

In the early 1990s, Berger began collaborating with his life partner Noor Damen, who had been a theatre costume designer prior to this time. Damen learned how to photograph from Berger as well as the photographer Siebe Swart at the ACF (Amsterdams Centrum voor Fotografie, ‘Amsterdam Center for Photography’). A more fleeting and informal, snapshot style began to emerge with the onset of Berger and Damen’s collaboration, which coincided with the occasionally austere and symmetrical photos Berger was still taking on his own, e.g. Greenhouse with Ferns. ‘People’ also began to again appear in Berger’s photos, such as for the assignment Harena Aqua Palus (‘Sand Water Moor’), taken together with Noor Damen for the Province of South Holland, as well as his photos for the assignment PhotoWork(s) in Progress on the theme of ‘Constructing Identity’, a collaborative project of the NFI (Nederlands Foto Instituut, ‘Netherlands Photo Institute’) in Rotterdam and the Mondriaan Foundation, a national fund for the arts.

In the early years of the new millennium, Berger turned his attention to a form of landscape photography that literally entails aiming his camera in a downward direction. As a result, the horizon can no longer be seen, with the focus shifting to small-scale occurrences taking place on the ground. Berger entered an association with the internationally oriented Van Kranendonk Gallery in The Hague, in order to ensure his photos could be directly exhibited and sold as well outside the Netherlands. In 2001, Berger produced his series Ruigoord. The exhibition’s name refers to a village and its surrounding area, located west of the municipality of Amsterdam. Once designated as an industrial zone, the village had been scheduled to be demolished. Consequently, the residents of Ruigoord were bought out and forced to move circa 1970. Due to a squatter’s protest in 1972, however, the village’s planned demolition was never carried out. Ruigoord subsequently emerged as a mecca for hippies, squatters, and alternative artists from around the world, as well as a symbol of the mindset of political engagement and anti-authoritarianism thriving in the 1970s and ’80s.

In the photos from this series, Berger has photographed the landscape solely as a pattern of pretty flowers, blades of grass, and twigs. An identification of Ruigoord’s specific geographic location is found only in the title. Just as with his photography taken from a high vantage point, Berger again achieves a new form of abstraction in these photos. In both cases, he concentrates on visual patterns that predominate in the representation of landscape, albeit on two different scales.

The manner in which Berger has depicted Ruigoord is characteristic of the working style that distinguished him from previous generations of photographers. The black-and-white photos of Gerda van der Veen, for example, are continuously filled with multitudes of alternative people and touring actors from the street theatre companies that frequented Ruigoord. Berger could not possibly have created a starker contrast than by turning his camera in the direction of the ground, focusing on the beautiful bleached colour of the built-up sand underlying Ruigoord and the appealing abstract pattern of plants, flowers, and twigs.

A later phenomenon in Berger’s work are his close-ups of elements of the landscape, or as he refers to them himself: ‘landscape still lifes’. Again with his camera looking down, he photographs details such as flowers along the roadside (the series Roadside Flowers) or a gully. Just as in his photography shot from above and his images void of any horizon, Berger is seeking to find that point at which disorientation first emerges in the experience of reality in a landscape scene. He accomplishes this through magnification and the interplay of sharpness and blur, resulting in a depiction that seems unreal—like a detail from a miniature or a scale model.

While Wout Berger’s photos are primarily of landscapes in the Netherlands, he has also been involved in a number of projects abroad, frequently on assignment. For the obvious reason that this is the country where he lives, providing him with the most immediate access to the natural environment, the Dutch landscape has received the greatest amount of attention in his work. Yet there was also a substantive reason why Berger found the landscape of his native country so appealing: his preference lay with the cultural landscape versus unspoiled nature. As one of the most densely populated, industrialised, urbanised, and highly controlled landscapes in the world, the Netherlands was therefore as well a welcome source of inspiration for Berger.

One exception to Berger’s preference for the cultural landscape are his photos taken along the coast of Brittany, France. Here he is currently working on a new visual experiment: taking numerous shots depicting the same exact scene at different intervals and subsequently layering them on top of one another. Between the rocks in the shallow waters of surging breakers on the coast, Berger takes multiple photos, shot consistently from the same identical vantage point, of ‘small-scale’ scenes of pebbles, algae, and other details floating about, using a technical camera. These shots are taken at different times, showing how the tide causes the water to perceptibly rise and recede. He then combines the different shots of varying sea levels on the computer. This combining of the shots taken from identical locations with contrasting levels of seawater gives the image a fragile transparency.

Wout Berger once remarked about his work: ‘You could call my work a way of phenomenological observation; phenomenology being a philosophical direction or method whereby the accurate descriptor of the things around us, combined with intuitive observation, can serve to lay bare their essence.’ Berger’s tremendous fascination has always been related to observation: both in the various photographic techniques that allow this observation to occur as well as the various forms of aesthetic that arise from these different techniques. This has not prevented Berger’s work from being substantively categorised in traditions such as politically engaged art (with his project Giflandschap), nor from being included in an exhibition focusing on the revival of ‘Romanticism’ in visual art (one of his landscape still lifes was featured at the exhibition Ophelia at the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem). Content-wise, however, Berger’s standpoint was emphatically neutral. He always worked from the visual aspect of his surroundings, which he tried to observe and represent in continually different ways through an endless array of camera and printing techniques.

It was based on an interest in technique and form that Berger developed his landscape photography, which was and still remains a major influence in Dutch photography. At a time when coarse-grain, high-contrast, and politically engaged black-and-white images were the norm in photography, Berger introduced landscape photos in a registrational, detached style. The use of the technical camera, colour, and the introduction of elevated vantage points were important innovations emulated by other photographers in the Netherlands. For Dutch photography, it brought about an alignment with movements in landscape and urban photography occurring abroad, including those photographers whose work was represented at the exhibition New Topographics in the United States during the 1970s, as well as German photography from the 1990s later known as the ‘Düsseldorfer Schule’ (‘Dusseldorf School’).
