About Jan-Dirk van der Burg
Jan-Dirk van der Burg (b. 1978) finds his inspiration in the little events that lap on the shores of our lives. In his work he balances somewhere between nostalgia, humour and irony. For this commission Van der Burg made a photographic investigation of political ‘fire’. In Kop der Veur he shows us Groningers who, from Appingedam to Zuurdijk, are occupied with politics in all its forms. Events around the community council elections last March are at the heart of the series.
