Very proud that one of my photographs Self-Portrait Nr 2, part of the Self Publishers United Portrait Exhibition had a large feature in the largest Amsterdam newspaper, Het Parool.

From August 12 to September 10, the exhibition ‘The Portrait’ by Self Publishers United (SPU) photographers can be seen in the Gallery & Bookstore for Contemporary Photography at Haarlemmerstraat 122 in Amsterdam. The exhibition shows a variety of black and white portraits. The diversity that can be found in the books of SPU photographers is also reflected in the portraits on display.

Echt wel een beetje trots: één van mijn zelfportretten in Het Parool!
Kom naar de expositie Het Portret, t/m 10 september bij Gallery & Bookstore for Contemporary Photography, Haarlemmerstraat 122, vrijdag en zaterdag 13.00 – 17.00 uur.
Dank je wel Het Parool voor het mooie artikel!

While the residency in Shanghai remains open but accessible only for those artists already in China, we are happy to virtually meet and work with a group of photographers for a new virtual residency.

This second virtual residency includes Mo Verlaan from The Netherlands, Federico Patrocinio from Italy, Pierre De Villiers from South Africa. Letícia Volpi from Brazil and Robin Cerutti Photography from Canada.

I’m incredible proud that the series The Memory of Time has been selected by Ann Mitchell for the fourth showcase Photography and Time in her journal Thinking About Photography.

Photography and Time features six photographers whose work explores time in interesting ways.

The featured artists are: Xavi Bou, Laura Dodson, Roberto Fernández Ibáñez, Michael Massaia, Jane Paradise and Mo Verlaan.

Thank you Ann Mitchell for featuring my work!

In Ann’s words:

So, I looked to find an interesting range in the six photographers featured here.

Utilizing the mechanics of photography, several artists have transcended the technical to create magical moments: from insomnia-driven wanderings, to examining what happens even before you shoot, to creating floating, ephemeral sculptures in the air.

Exploring memory and the passage of time, several artists examine that experience and the sense of longing the journey can leave us with.

Throughout the showcase you will find unique voices examining our relationship to time.

Please take the time to check out her Journal Thinking About Photography!

The Memory of Time

The Memory of Time is a study about the plasticity of time and light. For me there is a strong correlation between the impermanence of light and the fluidity of time.

The Japanese word for space: Ma, describes it best: it suggests an interval, a gap or pause in time, an emptiness in space.
