荷兰摄影大师《重庆人家》摄影展现场

9月16日，在江北区观音桥方所书店内，可以看见四处挂满了以重庆为背景的人物照片。照片里，有的是老人坐在老屋前沉思，有的是妇女抱着小孩悠闲地歇凉，记录的都是老城区人们的一些日常状态。这些以《重庆人家》为主题的摄影作品，却出自于一位荷兰的摄影大师——罗伯特·凡德·休斯特之手。一直持续到10月11日的本次摄影展，也拉开了由荷兰驻重庆总领事馆举办的首个“荷兰日”的序幕。

“荷兰日”是由荷兰政府发起的系列荷兰文化交流活动，曾在北京、上海、广州、武汉、香港举行。重庆作为今年的新成员，荷兰政府将首次在此举办摄影展、风俗文化体验、设计创意论坛等活动。

作品中，罗伯特记录了重庆渝中区和南岸区等老街里的重庆居民影像，展现了他个人的独特风格，包括使用源于荷兰黄金时代画家的技法，独一无二的光影技巧和现场捕抓画面的能力彰显无遗，罗伯特也在开幕式现场对他的作品进行了介绍与分享。他称：“重庆和荷兰不同，荷兰像煎饼一样平坦，重庆却是山城。为重庆‘量身’摄影是一种全新的体验。”

荷兰驻渝总领事谭敬南表示，在这次“荷兰日”活动中，6辆荷兰原装复古自行车也以“极品飞车”的形式出现在了荷兰体验馆内。重庆市民通过自行车虚拟骑行荷兰，郁金香之都的风光出现在自行车前方的电视屏幕上。同时，全球有名的兔子“米菲”也在开幕式当日首次登陆山城，度过她的60岁生日。从16日到20日的活动日期间，重庆市民体验到了纯正的荷兰传统文化、民俗风情、自然景观、艺术作品。

据了解，作为荷兰日活动的新领地，重庆在文化创意产业层面，与来自荷兰不同设计领域的专家和企业对话，在智慧城市发展、室内设计、时尚设计、城市品牌研讨等领域进行沟通和探讨。此外，丰富的跨界音乐活动也陆续上演。最后，整个荷兰日活动由一场Pechakucha创意分享大会收尾，参与荷兰日的艺术家及项目代表为听众分享了他们的活动经验与项目成果。

自荷兰驻渝总领馆开馆以来，已先后与重庆进行了经济、文化方面的交流和合作。“中国中西部地区为荷兰提供了广阔的发展空间，相对的，荷兰也为这里的企业和普通市民敞开怀抱。”谭敬南说，一条渝新欧铁路，将原本相隔万里的两个城市连接起来，重庆作为中国“一带一路”建设的重要城市，与荷兰鹿特丹之间有着巨大的合作潜力。他希望能借“荷兰日”契机，拉近荷兰与重庆的距离，加强两地沟通，而未来也将举办更多类似活动，让重庆市民更加了解荷兰。

On September 16th in the Fangsuo Bookstore of Guanyinqiao， Jiangbei District， photos of characters themed on Chongqing were posted everywhere of the bookstore. All he photos are records of Chongqing people's daily scenario. Some are of old people meditating in front of the doorway of old houses while some are of women who leisurely relish the cool breeze with their baby in arms. But all these pictures themed on Chongqing people living in the old town are captured by Robert Van Der Hilst， a master photographer from Netherland. The photographic exhibition， which lasts till Oct. 11thalso marked he opening of the first “Netherland's Day” organized by the Netherland's General Embassy in Chongqing.

Robert himself has made an introduction to his works in a view of sharing them at the scene of the opening ceremony. He said：Unlike Netherland where the land is as flat as a pancake，Chongqing is a mountainous town. It gives me fresh new experience shooting pictures tailored for her.”

According to Tan Jing-nan， Netherland's consul general n Chongqing， 6 original retro bicycles have also made their appearance in the Netherland pavilion offering video game experience. By taking a virtual ride tour in Netherland， citizens in Chongqing would see on the TV screen ahead of the bicycles the inviting landscape of “Tulip Capital”.

During the event days which last form Oct.16th to 20th， the citizens have tasted what is authentically traditional culture， folk custom， natural landscape and artworks from Netherland.

It is known that as a new territory of the “Netherland's Day”， Chongqing carried out dialogues in respect with cultural creative industry with design experts and enterprises from various fields of design in Netherland. Exchanges and discussions have been made on the development of an intelligent city， interior design， fashion design， and city brand R&D etc.Moreover， there have been fabulous cross-boundary music activities in sequence.

Since the establishment of Netherland's General Embassy in Chongqing， it has successively made exchange and cooperation with Chongqing in aspects of economy and culture. “The central and western regions of China offer vast development space to Netherland， and accordingly Netherland also opens her arms to welcome the local enterprises and ordinary citizens.” said Tan Jing-nan. Thanks to Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway line， two cities have been connected regardless of the thousands of miles' distance. And as a vital city in the development of the “Belt and Road”， Chongqing shares great cooperative potential with Rotterdam. He hoped that with the opportunity given by the “Netherlands' Day”，Chongqing and Netherland can be closer and enhance communications， and hold more similar events so that Chongqing citizen may better understand Netherland.
