• Hans Van Der Meer

  Exhibition

  22 Oct 2009 to 28 Nov 2009

  Hans van der Meer started photographing lower league football across Europe in 1995. He went out looking for football in its original form, as it had started more than 100 years ago: a patch of land, 22 players, no spectators, maybe a horse in the next meadow. At the beginning of the 1995 season, van der Meer set out to take a series of football photographs that avoided the clichéd traditions of contemporary sports photography. In an attempt to record the game in its simplest form, he sought matches at the bottom end of the amateur leagues, the opposite end of the scale to the Champions' League.
