The exhibition "Zie mij. De Bijbel in foto’s" (See me. The Bible in photos) by visual artist Caroline Waltman breathes new life into ancient biblical narratives through a modern photographic lens. Waltman traveled to sixteen countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey, to capture a wide array of images. These photographs encompass diverse subjects such as landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and active scenes from daily life across different cultures. Waltman associates these evocative images with selected Bible verses, fostering an associative and poetic connection that invites viewers to see the Bible in a new and contemporary light. Selected photographs are presented alongside biblical verses in six languages: Dutch, Arabic, German, English, Frisian, and Tigrinya, aiming to reach a broad and culturally diverse audience. Many of the images were taken in the countries of origin for new Dutch residents, reflecting the deep roots of many biblical stories. The work featured in "Zie mij" is drawn from Waltman's book "Paradisewill.com", with the exhibition offering a cross-section of its powerful imagery and thematic explorations. The exhibition has previously traveled to various locations, including churches, educational institutions, and cultural venues.
