Beeldenreeks

Beeldenreeks is a Dutch term used to describe a sequence or collection of images presented in a specific order. The word combines beeld (image) with reeks (series or sequence) and is used across disciplines to refer to visual material that forms a coherent whole when viewed in succession.

In film, photography, and digital media, a beeldenreeks typically consists of a curated set of frames or photographs intended to be viewed one after another to convey motion, transformation, or a developing idea. It may function as a storyboard, a photodocumentary sequence, or a digital gallery arranged to guide the viewer through a narrative or argument. In the visual arts, the term can denote a series of sculptures or paintings sharing a theme or motif, exhibited together to explore variation or continuity.

Key features include intentional ordering, thematic or narrative linkage, and a perceived progression. The form can be linear, with a clear temporal sequence, or more conceptual, where order emphasizes relationships rather than time. The term remains descriptive and context-dependent rather than a strict technical category.

Related terms include fotoreeks (photo sequence), storyboard, and art series. Beeldenreeks is thus a flexible label used to describe how multiple images relate to each other within a broader visual or conceptual project.
