About the Dutch photographer Frank van der SALM (b.1964, in Delft)

Frank van der SALM studied Photography and Audio/Visual Design at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. His main focus has been the Urban Landscape in it’s broadest sense. Over the years early influences of the 'New Topographics' have evolved into a diverse oeuvre about the control of landscape, lack of space, infrastructural issues and the pressure on time and space in contemporary metropolises, reflecting our ways of communication and it’s speed. Lately, attention has shifted to the new centers of economic power, resulting in projects next to but including the United States and Asia over the last couple of years.
