De Verborgen Bron - Haagse Kunstkring 

Exhibition 'De Verborgen Bron' (The Hidden Source) is a unique collaboration between photographers collective Nomads of Sehnsucht and poets from the Literature Department of Haagse Kunstkring (The Hague Art Circle).

Together they take up the challenge to express the deeper meaning of 'The Hidden Source' as a theme. An ambiguous, elusive theme, which can involve both an abstract and a personal concept. It is a universal human search for the source of inspiration, wisdom and creativity, which often seems hidden and difficult to grasp. Poets and Nomads are taken on a journey through the magical realm of the imagination, discovering new worlds and reaching for the indefinable, in their longing for 'The Hidden Source'.

The poets of the Hague Art Circle selected and composed poems for this exhibition that fit the theme. The photographers of Nomads of Sehnsucht, in turn, reflected on these poems with their work. They experiment with the boundaries of photography, partly out of curiosity about the medium and partly out of an effort to arrive at their own visual language, suitable for depicting a indefinable desire - Sehnsucht. The work is made with digital and analogue cameras, high-tech or developed and printed by hand in the darkroom. This has resulted in an interesting, associative exhibiton that can both be viewed and read. The works of art and poems are presented side by side.

Many thanks go to the poets of Haagse Kunstkring: Anne Tjerk Mante, Corina Engelbrecht, Gerrit Vennema, Hans Franse and Theo Monkhorst. 

Sehnsucht members exhibiting in The Hague: Annemarie van Buuren, Baukje Venema, Jacqueline Louter-Hoos, Mariska Pool, Mark van Hattem, Nicole Hagesteijn and Olga Rook.
