Wij Zijn 17

Johan van der Keuken (1938-2001)

Synopsis

"Wij Zijn 17" is a pioneering photo book by Johan van der Keuken, created when he was only 17. The work captures intimate portraits of van der Keuken's friends and peers, offering a deep insight into Dutch post-war youth culture. The book stands out as an early example of a 'photonovel,' combining visual storytelling with text by Simon Carmiggelt in Dutch. Johan van der Keuken, who later became a well-known documentary filmmaker and photographer, lays the groundwork for his career with this exploration of youthful experiences and societal conditions in post-war Netherlands.
