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.

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

The Three faces of Jeroen Kramer.

dailyStarRetrospective exhibition 'Room 103' charts the photographer's aversion to the aesthetics of war photography

Matthew Mosley
Daily Star staff
"I really hate some of these pictures," says photographer Jeroen Kramer at the opening of his exhibition "Room 103," a quasi retrospective currently on show at The Hangar, the gallery space of UMAM Documentation and Research. "I just can't look at them anymore."­Such harsh words from the mouth of an artist are somewhat disarming, but "Room 103" tracks a photographic practice that, as a matter of psychological necessity, has been more disjunctive than most.......
