"Bommen" is a collection of four photographs from an anonymous artist taken in 1940. The photographs capture the aftermath of a bombing, showing undetonated bombs in various locations. These images offer a glimpse into the impact of World War II on everyday life, reminding viewers of the realities of war and its destructive potential. The photographs are a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the enduring power of human resilience in the face of adversity. The collection is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
