From careful brushes to jealous scribbles, the stylistic range of how figures are censored is quite diverse. But the defacements here seem more concerned with the censor’s own feelings rather than enhancing the overall aesthetic. In these images it is easy to deduce that the censored figures are women – snippets of purses or high heels, the blobs’ lingering feminine form. The censor’s hand lends them an eerie quality, whether by accident or not. Yet the pictures are also very romantic...

Sinds 1975 maakte de Nederlandse fotograaf Michel Szulc Krzyzanowski honderden 'sequenties' [= een reeks foto's waarin een subtiele verschuiving optreedt, en die minimaal uit 2 afbeeldingen bestaat maar soms wel oploopt tot 7, 9 of zelfs 19 beelden]. In 1984 stopte hij vrij abrupt. Hoog tijd om nu, 25 jaar later, de 'ultieme selectie' te publiceren.

In 'Sequences: the ultimate selection' zijn de 112 beste sequenties opgenomen, waaronder 30 die nooit eerder zijn getoond of gepubliceerd. Het boe...

Bertien van Manen grew up in Heerlen, at the heart of the eastern part of the former coal mining region in the Netherlands, where her father worked as an engineer for the State Mines. Living in close proximity to this industry, the surrounding culture, and tangible consequences, she also became intimately familiar with the kinds of places and people associated with it. Spanning multiple decades, this publication brings together photographs Van Manen took in various mining towns scattered arou...

Geïnspireerd door hun interesse in opvallende dress codes van verschillende sociale groepen, hebben fotograaf Ari Versluis en styliste Ellie Uyttenbroek systematisch talrijke identiteiten gedocumenteerd. Zij noemen deze series 'Exactitudes', een samentrekking van de woorden 'exact' en 'attitude'.

Door hun geportretteerden in een identiek kader en in dezelfde houding vast te leggen, bieden zij een welhaast wetenschappeli...

Carla van de Puttelaar opens our awareness to the sensitivity and sensuality of skin. The female body has long been the main subject of her photography, and her models appear poised and aloof, with chilled skin lit by natural light, one of Van de Puttelaar's most important tools and assets - one which she harnesses with incredible deftness. She also examines the skin and texture of flowers in her 'Hortus Nocturnum' series, particularly those about to fade. 'Adornments' comprises a new collect...

Brothers Samuel and Henk Otte follow in the footsteps of their great-grandfather, Rev. Gerrit Hendrik Kersten, an influential Dutch Protestant minister who travelled to the United States in 1939 to give emigrant members of his church encouragement and support. The book’s narrative is woven through archive photographs and diary entries, resulting in a visual journey to the towns, families, churches, and farmsteads that Kersten visited. The book is designed by Amsterdam-based graphic designer...

This publication is inspired by novelist Raymond Queneau’s 1947 book of the same title, in which Queneau tells a simple story in 99 different ways. Arjan de Nooy’s version applies an analogous principle to a single photographic negative. He took the picture in Paris in October 2007, with no special reason apart from the fact that it has a faint similarity with Queneau’s story. It shows a bus and two young men who appear to be having a conversation about a button. Over the years, De Nooy...

In 2018 Stephan Keppel started collecting works and stories of Amsterdam; the city where he lives, and works. The city is constantly changing, and so are the visible, invisible, social, and historic structures. In ‘Soft Copy Hard Copy’ Stephan Keppel explores and organizes these structures, creating an organic index of the city. This book is part of Keppel's ongoing research on the public space, urban structures and reproduction, and is combining his own photographs with re-photographed a...
