Rotterdam werkt!

Together with the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Lecturis gives 'Rotterdam works!' from. This publication consists entirely of work commissioned by photographers for companies, organizations and media in Rotterdam. The photographers did not have all the artistic freedom, but had to comply with the wishes of the client. The often conflicting but surprising field of tension between professional practice, bound and autonomous photography in relation to the turbulent economic growth of Rotterdam since the beginning of photography is the most important subject. It includes well-known, less well-known and, above all, many anonymous photographers who worked for numerous photographic departments from multinationals up to and including the Construction and Housing Supervision Service. Working within the tight frameworks of commissioned photography, they were able to impart to their work both photographic quality and artistic insight. In addition to a variety of photographic genres and expressions, 'Rotterdam Werkt!' a very varied, often still unknown picture of the Maas city. After all, photos taken on commission had a specific function and were by no means always publicized, unless they were taken for advertising purposes, for example. The collection was drawn from the collections of the Nederlands Fotomuseum, the Rotterdam City Archives, the Royal Collections and the Maria Austria Institute. Special photos were also chosen from countless company archives, such as from Nationale-Nederlanden, the Bijenkorf, Heineken and Diergaarde Blijdorp. In addition, many contemporary photographers are represented and there is attention for corporate and other commissioned films. Exhibition: Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (19.09.2020 - 17.01.2021) Samen met het Nederlands Fotomuseum geeft Lecturis 'Rotterdam Werkt!' uit. Deze publicatie bestaat geheel uit werk dat fotografen hebben gemaakt in opdracht voor bedrijven, organisaties en media in Rotterdam. De fotografen hadden daarbij niet alle artistieke vrijheid, maar moesten voldoen aan de wensen van de opdrachtgever. Het vaak botsende maar verrassende spanningsveld tussen beroepspraktijk, gebonden en autonome fotografie in relatie tot de onstuimige economische groei van Rotterdam sinds het begin van de fotografie is het belangrijkste onderwerp. Ze omvat bekende, minder bekende en vooral ook veel anonieme fotografen die werkten voor talloze fotografische afdelingen van multinationals tot en met de Dienst Bouw en Woning
