Henze Boekhout - Cibachrome ''Interieur van de glazen toren, Boijmans van Beuningen'' 1986 - Sold

• In the mid-1980s, Boekhout acquired a rotating camera. With this camera he has photographed a number of interiors, while these types of cameras are mainly used for landscape photography. This resulted in a number of recordings made in the Boijmans in Rotterdam, buildings in Amsterdam and Haarlem, among others. All panoramas went beyond the usual 360°. This sometimes results in claustrophobic and/or confusing perspectives. These experiments lead to a series of photos, some of which were later shown in the exhibition ''The circle'' (Purmerend, 1987) with Arie Berkulin, Jan van Munster and Yvonne Kracht.

• Henze Boekhout, (Haarlem, 1947) is a Dutch artist/photographer. He was a teacher at the Utrecht School of the Arts (since 2002). He developed self-taught into a photo artist. Initially he focused on travel photography, but returned to it after a report on Morocco and Japan. He built his own 30x40 camera in the late 1970s to come up with basic ideas about photography. He participated in Photografia Buffa, with a number of photo-reliefs and at the same time developed a photography that would result in his 1993 book Seconds First. His sources of inspiration at that time were the early work of Luigi Ghirri, the New English Sculpture and the photographic work of Constantin Brancusi.

• He worked on various assignments, including in 1994 for the Frans Hals Museum and for the Spaarnestad Photo Archive (series about Haarlem on the occasion of Haarlem 750 years). In addition to various solo exhibitions, he also participated in the photo exhibition in 2000 about football. In 2003 he made a photo architecture book about the new Toneelschuur in Haarlem. In 2007 he published an artistbook on New York entitled "20 Towers" which is now in the collections of a number of major libraries in Europe and the US.

• He also makes monumental, applied photography within architecture, an impressive example of which is the glass wall 'Crimescope' (2.5x17 m) in the new Forensic Institute in Ypenburg (architects: Claus en Kaan).
