Online exhibition ’Seven Sins’

1 April 2021

During the Opera Forward Festival, seven works by photographer Hellen van Meene were to be exhibited in the foyer of the Dutch National Opera & Ballet. This was in addition to the performance The Seven Deadly Sins by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Still, we didn't want to deprive you of the beautiful photographs alltogether.

HELLEN VAN MEENE

Photographer Hellen van Meene (Alkmaar, 1972) is known for her (mainly) square photographic portraits of teenage girls. Her work was first exhibited in 1996 and has been displayed all over the world ever since. Work by Hellen is featured in the collections of prominent museums such as the Guggenheim in New York and the MoMa.
