This is a photo album with photos of Norbert van den Berg in Italy and the Netherlands, made by Norbert van den Berg, who lived from 1901 to 1972. Consider the era in which van den Berg lived, deeply marked by the World Wars and significant social changes. This album isn't merely a collection of snapshots; it's a personal archive. It presents a curated view of his life, travels and experiences during a transformative period in European history. The choice of locations, Italy and the Netherlands, hints at a narrative of cultural exploration and personal identity. What did it mean for van den Berg to capture these moments? Did he see himself as part of a larger artistic or social movement? These photographs offer a glimpse into the ways individuals constructed their identities and memories in the face of sweeping historical shifts. The intimacy of the album invites us to reflect on how we, too, document and remember our own journeys, both physical and personal.
