Ellen Bosma (1962) has exhibited her work regularly, but she on reports of festivals and theater projects. Characterizing her method of working is the quest for images in which a field of tension between the visible and the hidden world is visible. "By recording the visible I try to make the hidden palpable." The images vary from portraits and still lifes to urban lanscapes. During Noorderlicht 1997 Ellen Bosma exhibits a selection from a series of photo impressions taken during a short trip through Morocco in 1996.

The theme in Koos Lina's (1949) work is man in big cities. She photographs large empty spaces with small, tiny figures, clearly depicting people. They contrast to the line pattern and perspective of concrete spaces situated in prestiguous bastions such as the Mussolini-complex in Rome or the district of La Defense in Paris as they are small and almost unrecognizable.Still Koos Lina succeeds in having man as the focal point in her photos.
