Van Empel reveals an ability to capture the delicacy of the world through his works: editing and composing, from patiently collected and selected photographs he took himself.

This project by Dutch photographer Mariken Wessels (1963) is a multifaceted artistic translation of her fascination with an anonymous woman who posed for Eadweard Muybridge’s camera in 1885. In the 24-image sequence “Arising from the Ground”, the obese woman, who was supposedly named Miss Cox, can be observed as she moves from lying down to a fully upright position. Wessels was inspired by this woman to start making large clay sculptures and photographing obese female models swimming un...

What Is This Thing Called Polaroid? gaat over de bijzondere kwaliteiten van Polaroid-fotografie en de rol die dit medium speelt in het werk van de kunstenaar Ulay. Al vanaf de jaren 1970 onderzoekt Ulay de mogelijkheden van Polaroid, leidend tot radicaal en baanbrekend werk. Het eenmalige en onmiddellijke karakter van elke individuele Polaroidfoto sluit goed aan bij Ulays performance-kunst en body art. Ulays experimenten gaan zo ver dat hij uiteindelijk zelf ín een grote Polaroidcamera is ga...

The project of Sanne Peper about The Deep South, a highly complex and interesting part of the US has culminated in the publication of 'Slowtime, Alabama & The Beautiful Sadness', a fairytale-like photo/text book about good and evil, the human condition, an alt-right chipmunk who goes by the name of Jeremiah Day, and ultimately about the fear of the other. Half of the book consists of photographs, but Sanne Peper also wrote about things she experienced and the tales people told her. Of this sh...

By examining photography through geography and philosophy, this book makes evident that place is not the content of a definite representation. To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

What is it like to attend a museum today?

In fifteen emblems, each made of one photograph and one lyrical text, Limonard looks closely at what we may experience at the Rijks Museum and Rembrandt House in Amsterdam.

In 1999, a short video of a solitary boy kicking an empty bottle up a hill in Mexico City became the first instalment of Children’s Games, a series of works by artist Francis Alÿs (b. Antwerp, 1959).

For almost twenty years, Alÿs and his collaborators Félix Blume, Julien Devaux, and Rafael Ortega have been travelling around the world to docu...
