‘Where Do You Want Me?’ inspires a zest for life. The book gathers 160 extraordinary figures from Jan Dirk van der Burg’s ‘Volkskrant Magazine’ column “Heerlijk Genieten”, which ran weekly for several years. In a series of diptychs, the various personas complement one another in stories full of passion, purpose, and self-perception. Van der Burg has always found taking people’s portraits to be a complicated affair. But it has gotten him to venture places he would never have gone without a camera in hand, like the Dutch Origami Society’s annual folding day, the Tilburg Terrarium Days, the National Goat Event in the IJsselhallen, and Aruba Day at De Broodfabriek in Rijswijk.
