Sint Nyksters
Sint Nyksters is an ongoing portrait of Sint Nicolaasga, a village in the Dutch province of Friesland. Through intimate photographs of its inhabitants, Arie Bruinsma asks how a community is shaped by the people who live there. Individual faces, gestures and spaces slowly form a collective memory. The series is not about nostalgia, but about presence: who are we to each other, now, in an ordinary place?
