This is part one of eight: Annabel Storm<\/p>\n<p>The famous thinker Desiderius Erasmus (whose 550th birth date we celebrate this year in Rotterdam) was quite critical about the behaviour of his fellow man. In his writings, he wanted to put people back on the right track again. He drew on the mental legacy of the Greek and Roman classics. His most stinging critique on society is in his satiric book <em>Praise of Folly<\/em>. A very smart book: by commenting through Folly, instead of writing on his own account, he could express himself much more fully.<\/p>\n<p>About five hundred years later, eight photographers from Rotterdam pick up where Erasmus\u2019 <em>Praise of Folly<\/em> left off. For you better believe it: folly is still amongst us.<\/p>\n<p>Photographer Annabel Storm sees harshness in people, at the police, and in the administration.\u00a0 Erasmus covers the harshness with cynicism and humor, but Annabel shows the foolishness of rules and people in cold detail.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Erasmus photography<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/05\/09212155\/Binnenstad_Annabel-Storm_01-1-1280x854.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139074\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/05\/09212155\/Binnenstad_Annabel-Storm_01-1-1280x854.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139074 2000w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/05\/09212155\/Binnenstad_Annabel-Storm_01-1-1280x854-875x584.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139074 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/05\/09212155\/Binnenstad_Annabel-Storm_01-1-1280x854-1280x854.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139074 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/05\/09212155\/Binnenstad_Annabel-Storm_01-1-1280x854-300x200.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139074 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p><span>What oaf mind!
