Iwan Baan’s Travel Diary

Bread and Circuses

From Rome to Las Vegas: Iwan Baan is one of the best contemporary photographers. He captures with his camera what many cannot see with the naked eye – without any deepfake. Spaces take on dimensions in front of his lens; in the Dutchman’s photographs they become tangible, take on proportions and enter into relationships. In his recent book printed by Lars  Müller Publishers, the photographer tells a story about Rome and Las Vegas. Baan’s photos are always at their best when he works in a reportage format. His narratives are then populated with people who move through the space, take it over, appropriate it and sometimes reinterpret it. This gives rise to sensitive narratives of his own – and it is these stories that ultimately make up architecture and narrate its everyday life.
