DESCRIPTION:Jun 19 - Sep 13\, 2026\nEd van der Elsken approached his work w
 ith a determined subjectivity. “I’m not a journalist\, an objective re
 porter\,” he once wrote. “I am a man with likes and dislikes.” Born 
 in Amsterdam in 1925\, the Dutch native moved to Paris in his early twenti
 es\, and quickly gravitated to the disaffected bohemian youth reshaping th
 e city after the war. Up until his death\, in 1990\, he and his camera cha
 sed the rebel energy\, catching teens kissing on the Seine\, a cyclist sti
 cking out her tongue\, young boys celebrating Queen’s Day on the streets
  of Amsterdam. Van der Elsken’s photographs revel in life at its most ra
 w and unfiltered moments\, an extension of his own free-spirited\, nomadic
  nature. For the first time\, his work from many decades and continents is
  presented across nine galleries in his home city\, alongside notes and da
 rk room experiments. “I report on young rebellious scum with pleasure\,
 ” he said in the 1971 film The Infatuated Camera. “I rejoice in life\;
  I’m not complicated\, I rejoice in everything.”
