What is a photograph worth? A thousand words, as they say? Is it worth your happiness? Your self-respect? Your life?Born in Amsterdam and based in Lebanon, Jeroen Kramer has lived and worked in the Middle East since 2001. His hard news photos found their way into the international media. But Kramer had had enough; he went in search of intimacy and beauty, and sought refuge in autonomous photography. Room 103 (a book and exhibition) affords an insight into the complex and schizophrenic reality of a photographer who lives and works in a conflict zone. Starkly honest and coldly beautiful, it is an unblinking study not only of life and death in the strife-torn Middle East but also of Kramer's inner struggle to come to terms with the human weaknesses, aesthetic limitations and remorseless insights of his chosen path. Room 103 was initiated, published and exhibited by Noorderlicht, who previously showed Kramer's work at the Noorderlicht Photofestival.
الجمعيــــــــة اللبنــانيــــــــــة للــتـعارف الفـني والثقــــافي Lebanese Association for Cultural and Artistic Exchange. A Photo Exhibition by Jeroen Kramer The Hangar (UMAM D&R) Opening: March 19, 2010
During the winter months Noorderlicht Photogallery is showing the first retrospective exhibition of Jeroen Kramer: Room 103. Kramer has been active for almost ten years in the Middle East as a photojournalist. His photos of the hard news from this region found their way into international media. But Kramer had enough of fast journalistic work. He went in search of intimacy and beauty, and sought refuge in autonomous photography. Together with the book of the same title, Room 103 affords an insight into the complex and schizophrenic reality of a photographer who lives and works in a conflict zone. 28 nov 10 jan 2010

On faith and conflict, ecstasy and excess
Is faith permissible? Or is faith compulsory? How sacred is the line separating church and state today, long the unquestioned foundation of Western democracy? How firm is the theory of evolution? How conceivable is unbelief? 16 September /28 October 2007
NAZAR - Photographs from the Arab World
NAZAR is an exhibit of 17 Arab photographers and 15 European, U.S. and Middle Eastern photographers about Arab cultures in the Middle East and northern Africa. The show will present 250 photographic works, most of which have never been seen before in the United States. April - June 2005
An Arabic word meaning "seeing, insight, reflection," Nazar is an apt title for this multifaceted view of the Arab world seen through the eyes of fifty-six Arab and Western photographers. With essays by seven international writers, this stimulating catalog to a highly acclaimed exhibition at the Noorderlicht Festival presents the largest collection of Arab photographs ever exhibited in the West. 04 September/30 October2004
