Hellen van Meene (1972) is regarded as one of the most important Dutch photographers of her generation.
Yellow is a triptych: a young girl at a window, a boy in a room, and a child wrapped in a curtain. The work reveals as much as it conceals. The images are based on Polaroids that Hellen van Meene made in preparation for her photographic work. Bathed in a blinding summer light, the photographs evoke the vulnerable atmosphere of childhood. Yellow shows the photographer’s practice in sketches and explorations.
