Ed van der Elsken was a photographer and filmmaker who expressed his meetings with people in photos, photo books and films for more than 40 years. In the 1950s he left Holland for Paris, where he encountered the bohemian society of Saint-Germain-de-Prés. Marked by the bitter post-war atmosphere, these young people spent their days in bars, living on alcohol and drugs. Here you can see Auguste Hommel and Jean Michel Mension (Lettrist trousers), leaning into a wall in Paris.
