Willem Popelier (b. 1982) researches ways in which photos are commonly used, with a focus on the mechanisms and politics of representation. Thus his focus is mostly on popular culture, the ubiquitous image and its effects on society.
His work is exhibited worldwide, published in magazines such as C Photo and Foam Magazine, awarded with several prizes including a C/O Berlin Talent, a Bronze Medal for Best Book Design from all over the World, and long listed for the ICP Infinity Award and the Prix Pictet, among others.
