Play
It started with a fascination for the Lego structures my then-five-year-old son had started building. I thought they were beautiful and started taking them to my studio to photograph. Many Lego creations later I decided to collect them in a book about play, combined with essays and poetry. To me, play is about following joy,…

TinselTown
I met Manolis, a fisherman in his eighties, living alone in a small house at the beach. One day he told me this story at eight o’clock in the morning, while drinking a glass of whiskey together: “You know, I look a lot like Kirk Douglas”, he confided in me, looking very seriously. He proudly…

The Rustle of Touch
First there was Ellen Korth’s ‘Fabric of Time’. A big sensuous experience. Photo’s of old underware and lingerie from famous collections printed on huge ultra thin semi transparant paper.

The Fabric of Time
Twickel Castle in ‘Ambt Delden’ was a revelation and a blessing. It provided a surrounding so authentic and untouched by time that the presence of its former inhabitants could still be felt.
