About Rem.
Rem van den Bosch (Rotterdam, 1974)
With boundless energy, photographer Rem van den Bosch strives to make the world a more beautiful place – even just a little. His projects like Zeeuws Meisje and Seven Generations inspire public debate about the way we treat each other, and the environment.
Who am I?
My name is Rem van den Bosch—artist, photographer, and food entrepreneur. My work revolves around connecting people, raising awareness of our relationship with nature, and offering positive alternatives for the future. Inspired by questions from children about the state of the world, I spent an extended period in the indigenous Haudenosaunee reservations. There, I learned the importance of viewing our actions within a broader, forward-looking framework. These insights form the foundation of everything I do: they inspire me to use art and entrepreneurship to create meaningful change in a practical way.
​
We are currently working on a book about my time in the Haudenosaunee reservations. Send me a message if you would like to be notified when the book is ready.
What do I do?
Photography and Art: I work throughout the Netherlands, reinterpreting traditional costumes by merging themes of sustainability, identity, and heritage. Using fabrics made from recycled PET bottles, we create exact replicas of historical costumes, translating traditions into modern times. In addition, I develop art projects and public initiatives that actively engage people, such as a cycling route across 25 municipalities featuring 25 large-scale outdoor installations. My work is always practical, aimed at fostering connections and raising awareness. The photographic artworks we create are available for purchase and can be easily ordered through this website.

Lectures & Education
I develop educational programs that have been implemented in over 200 schools. I also give lectures and workshops both in the Netherlands and abroad, often accompanied by large-scale artworks or sustainable food presentations, to inspire people with a positive message.
Food Entrepreneurship
Through the brands Seaburger and Scaldaris, I develop high-quality products made from plant-based and marine animal proteins and by-products, such as undersized mussels, oysters, and invasive species. These products have a low carbon footprint, are easy to prepare, and align with the needs of chefs in the foodservice industry. Additionally, I collaborate with businesses to develop scalable recipes and solutions for challenges in the food sector.
Who do I do this for?
My work is intended for anyone open to new perspectives and solutions: businesses, governments, cultural institutions, the hospitality industry, and individuals. The commercial aspect is an essential part of what I do—you can hire me to develop a campaign, purchase a photograph, or collaborate on a creative concept or project.​​
Practical & Hands-on
What sets my work apart is that it is not only visually striking or conceptual but also applicable. Whether it’s art projects with tangible impact, such as large-scale cycling initiatives, or finding creative solutions for challenges faced by businesses or governments, my approach is always grounded in a positive message. Art, in its broadest sense, is the most powerful tool for creating change.
Who have I worked with?
I have had the pleasure of collaborating with a wide range of clients, including governments, large companies, and cultural institutions.
