NO TITLE - Wietze Landman

In 2000 Wietze Landman travelled through Surinam. There, together with the journalist Robert van de Woestijne, he made a number of reportages on the residents of Paramaribo and the interior of Surinam. Among other results was a series of black and white photographs of the primitive life in the interior and the urbane society in Paramaribo, a city with a strange mixture of South American and Dutch influences. The indigenous peoples apparently lead a quiet life and are at one with nature. The women leave early every morning in the korjaal (dugout canoe) for the vegetable garden, where they cultivate food. In the meantime, the young boys kicking a ball around on a clearing in the rain forest dream of a football career.
