This coming September Depth Of Field will participate as the only specialist in old photography with a "past in the present" booth on the exhibition floor of Unseen 2024.

​

All works on show explore in their own right the intriguing area in between  fine art and photography. Juxtaposing these we show not only the beauty of original fine art pieces, but also, how photography transforms or adds new meaning to the original artworks.

​

On view will be, among others, an original 1934 life-size official print of the shroud of Turin by Giuseppe Enrie, on which, by means of photography, the contours of Jesus became clearly visible for the first time.

​

X-ray recordings of René Gerritsen made  to support fine art and museum pieces and not originally intended as art in its own right. However the images are so appealing, and the imagery is so strong,  these works can stand on their own in terms of content. 

​

Gert Jan Kocken's series  'Defacing'  2004–2009, a (seemingly) straightforward presentation of mutilated artworks that survived waves of iconoclastic fury in northern Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Years of research combined with Kocken’s characteristic technical precision provided completely new imagery, challenging collective memory.
