Domestic Landscapes

For the past decade, the Dutch photographer Bert Teunissen has travelled Europe photographing people in their houses using natural window light that seems borrowed from a Vermeer painting. He says he’s hoping to archive a way of life that “fated to disappear as a consequence not only of architectural standardization but also of social displacement and shifts in public opinion about life and how it should be lived,” according to an interview in the NYTimes. Perhaps he’s trying to recapture the lost world of his youth in a series of photos he calls
Domestic Landscapes.
