Mariet Dingemans – One Shower a Week

Documentary photographer and anthropologist Mariet Dingemans photographed the residents of the sustainable residential community De Brouwketel in Angeren (Gelderland) for three and a half years. Nine adults, five children, six sheep, a lot of chickens and a dog. The Brouwketelaars live as sustainably and self-sufficiently as possible. They grow their own fruit and vegetables, bake their own bread, use as little water, electricity and plastic as possible and heat their house with wood from the land. On average, Dingemans visited for a few days every two months. Her stay at the residential community gave the photographer an image of a completely different world.
