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...

This publication presents a new body of work by Cindy Sherman that continues her explorations of the genre of portraiture going back to her early work of the 1970s. Across thirty-six photographs, the artist collages parts of her own face to construct the identities of various sitters, using digital manipulation to accent the layered aspects and plasticity of the self. The book also includes a text by Sherman chronicling her process in the studio, offering an intimate glimpse into her thinking...

In 1984 besluiten de ouders van de 12-jarige Ruth Sas hun leven radicaal om te gooien. Ze laten hun welvarende leven in Noord-Brabant achter zich en vertrekken naar Den Andel, een uitgesproken vrijgevochten dorp in het uiterste noorden van Groningen.
