Nachtvlinder is a website about dark photography and poetry. Nachtvlinder is a search for different aspects of the dark, darkness, and the night. Participants have very different backgrounds. They all approach the subject in an individual manner. Nachtvlinder is international; participants come from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, America and Brazil.
Because photography is about light and dark, it is interesting to approach photography from the dark side. This gives an interesting view on what the dark can offer photography.
The dark has a long history in poetry. Nachtvlinder shows some important poets from the past, as well as contemporary poets. In the Nachtvlinder weblog you will find poems, videos, images, songs en other stories about the dark.
Nachtvlinder will exist for some time. Other people will also have a chance to show their point of view on the subject. Nachtvlinder is a non-commercial project; not a gallery. If you are interested in participating, send an email to info@nachtvlinder.net.
Concept, design and realization by Corinne Kruger first online september 2007
