Marieke Berkelaar is a photographer and graphic designer from Leerdam, the Netherlands. The combination of her photography and her passion for the past takes you back in time. In recent years, Marieke has mainly focused on capturing a piece of history; old and abandoned buildings. Places that give the impression that they have been abandoned from one moment to the next, who want to tell the stories of their time and where no one has been for years. She wants the viewer to wonder what happened. Wants them to unravel the how, what, and why behind the photo and feel the melancholy. She is ready to start the dialog.
