Beschrijving
‘I accompanied Martijn twice to the Kamasutra Beurs. Once in Utrecht and once in Amsterdam. The images I witnessed there have become indelibly etched in my mind, however much I would wish to forget them; like the man spanking his wife’s bottom with a bunch of leeks.
You can describe something like that in writing, but people won’t actually believe it until they see it, and even then perhaps they won’t. I can’t say it aroused me. Just the opposite in fact.
What I noticed most about the visitors to the Kamasutra Beurs was their total lack of shame. A hunched back, a big stomach, too much – or even too little – hair, a pimple here and there: the majority needed no excuse to pose for the camera. Indeed, without exception, they considered it an honour to pose for Martijn. In all their glory, for all to see.
And why not?
Making a ‘love film’ with your partner on a stage is proof that the boundaries of what is acceptable have long been extended.
What makes Martijn van de Griendt’s photos so unique is that they succeed in not arousing feelings of lust and horniness. I believe he has succeeded in capturing the beauty of the ordinary. As exemplified in the woman putting on her socks after her photo shoot in front of an Arabian Nights décor.
If you can do that, you are not a voyeur, you are a true artist.’
