Bert Teunissen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bert Teunissen (born 1959 Ruurlo, the Netherlands) is a photojournalist who, since 1996, has documented European homes built before World War II and their inhabitants in his book Domestic Landscapes: A Portrait of Europeans at Home. Teunissen has photographed houses built before electricity was common in order to preserve a quickly disappearing part of Western European life and culture. He later added images from Japan to his project.
