Andrea Stultiens 'Intensive Care'

‘As we entered the New Year, everything changed. My boyfriend and I had booked a holiday months in advance and had decided to use the occasion to get married. Soon after the wedding we were on our way to Thailand. A week later my mother told me on the phone that my sister and her boyfriend had been in an accident. Back in the Netherlands I began to take photographs. Because I couldn’t remember ever having been able to calmly observe what an intensive care unit looks like. Because it felt safer to have a buffer between me and the situation. And it was something to do.’



Edition: paperback (1000 copies) size: 18x25cm pages: 112 ilustrations: 40 photo’s, 4 (photographic) illustrations.

The special edition of Intensive Care contains three inktjet prints, each on different papier, and on handwritten poem in English and Dutch.

Cuny Janssen ‘Amami’ and ‘My Grandma Was A Turtle’

Cuny Janssen is presenting two special, technically-speaking cleverly furnished books this year. After the Dutch photographer was included by Martin Parr in his voluminous The Photobook History: Volume II, and in view of the limited number of copies (1,000), these editions could very rapidly become highly collectable.

Cuny Janssen is perpetually on the lookout for unusual forms of presentation, in order to place her books in a specific relationship to the respective landscapes or portraits of the inhabitants–mainly children–she chooses to photograph. Thus, is also the case of Amami, a photobook about the second largest of the Ryukyu Islands of the same name, which is situated to the south of the one of the four main Japanese islands, Kiuschu. 

My Grandma was a Turtle is a collection of particularly American motifs, that culminates in double-sided images of the prairie depicting considerable numbers of bison. Here too, the artist connects landscape photographs with portraits of the inhabitants - children of Native Americans in Oklahoma - yet she is less interested in merely comparing them: rather the hand-pasted, individual photographic reproductions lend the edition a unique format, which might readily be compared to early photograph albums or collectors’ albums for cigarette cards and suchlike.




Amami edition: 1000, Hardcover size: 27 x 22 x 1,5 cm pages: 92 plus 18 fold-outs illustrations: 102.

My Grandma Was A Turtle edition: 1000, Hardcover size: 24,6 x 32,7 x 2,5 cm pages: 44 illustrations: 69 plus 12 spreads.

The special edition of Cuny Janssen: Amami and My Grandma Was A Turtle are both wrapped, separately, in a soft and milky paper. The books are bound together with a tie. The artist added one separated print (in an envelope) from the book My Grandma Was A Turtle, with a short text on the backside, handwritten, selected from her notebook. The print is original printed matter; a double example of one of the prints you will find inside the book.

Daan Paans  ‘It might be said that there are three times: a time present of things past, a time present of things present, and a time present of things to come'

This book handles on the phenomenon of time. After seeing the narratives of the photobook I leave the viewer with the question ‘Where did our time start and will it ever end?’ I combine my documentary pictures with found footage and text such as e-mails and quotes of existing novels that handels on the same subject. In this manner I want to tell my story considering there are always three times that create our perception of a subject: the past, the present and the future.

Dieuwertje Komen 'Commonness'

Dieuwertje komen (1979) is a Dutch photographer with a fascination for capturing the changing city landscape. In 2009 she visited five medium-sized European cities: Bordeaux, Kosice, Pilzn Mechelen and Mons, as a part of the project; City Visions Europe. what was initiated by the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam in 2009.

‘ The power of Dieuwertje Komen’s photographic work does not lie in the choice of the subject —the European city—but in the instrumentality her images retain for those who are interested in the future of the urban project. The anti spectacular character of her gaze, far from being a stylistic stance, is an attempt to reveal the possibility of looking at the city beyond the dominance of the architectural object. —She searches for constituent elements, principles, and devices that can be used to define an urban commonness’, a shared grammar for the urban project upon which the European city has traditionally been built. ‘ (A Cross-section of Genericity and Commonality: Towards a Vocabulary for the European City, text by Martino Tattara 2009.)

Jaap Scheeren and Hans Gremmen 'Fake Flowers in Full Colour'

Is it possible to create a three dimensional colour seperation? That was the question that triggerd us (photographer Jaap Scheeren and graphic designer Hans Gremmen) to start this experiment. A bouquet of fake flowers was arranged as starting and striving point. The next step was to create four still lives of this bouquet: one in Cyan, one in Magenta, one in Yellow and one in Black. These stillives were photographed and merged into one image. In theory this should have been the same as the startingpoint, but in practice it became “Fake Flowers In Full Colour”.



40 pages / 24x34 cm / 40 images in colour (and beyond) / printed in 16 colours of offset / published by Fw: / 2009 / text by Ilse van Rijn / printed in close collaboration with Drukkerij Raddraaier in an edition of 750 copies.

Judith van IJken 'Mimicry'

Mimicry consists of photographic images of people wearing an item of their parents’ clothing, which they wore when they were the same age as their children are now.
The series wants to raise questions, such as; Why is it that this generation wants to look like its parents?”, “What does that say about our time?”, “What is the relationship between these generations?” These questions are being emphasized by the specific design of the book. The underlying theme of the work is the question to what extent and in what way personal identity is determined by the social environment and how each separate individual can determine his or her own environment and identity.

Karianne Bueno 'Asper'

As a photographer, I seek for silence, a place where there is no spectacle and time is unimportant. But I guess I don’t really belong in these quiet places I am looking for.
In Asper, one feels my delight at the rural utopia that I thought I finally found. But, when the story of my series unfolds, loneliness, fear, and longing take over the mood. Asper pictures the silent, timeless beauty of the Belgian countryside, but the oppression of life in a small village is slumbering.

Natascha Libbert 'Take me to the Hilton'

This is a story about man’s attempt to model his surroundings to become that which he envisions as being an ideal world. I perceived this to be especially visible in places such as hotels, airports, lounges, avenues, resorts by the sea. Details, both subtle and paramount, can be read in the understandable attempt of man to maintain this created decor and cultivated realtity. In the end, what remains is the undercurrent of man’s alienated relationship to the world he created, a feeling of estrangement. This is what I observe as I travel. It is what this story is about.

Niels Stomps 'Mist'

The Three Gorges Dam, China
From the outside Mist is not immediately recognizable as a photo-book. It is soft cover and entirely white. Mist is about the powerlessness of people in the face of overwhelming force. Whether that force is environmental or political, Mist is a book about being pushed to adapt your life around those forces that are presented in the light of ‘this is bettering your life so you should see its goodness and embrace the outcome.’ Mist happens to use an example found in China but this book metaphorically could be speaking to Americans against the war in Iraq or any other situation where the people are powerless to prevent the change.

Petra Stavast 'Libero'

Just like a mystery that slowly unfolds to eventually reveal the truth of the matter, Stavast’s project intertwines the reader in a collection of images to reconstruct a absorbing story about Italy, America, migration, Libero and his family. Coming across an abandoned house in Calabria (Italy) the photographer found a collection of old photographs and letters and started to search for the people in these pictures in order to re-tell the story behind the images. The result of her enterprise is delivered through this collection of found photographs taken by different family members, correspondence and recent images by Stavast herself – all presented in a special paper packaging.

Rob Hornstra '101 Billionaires'

At the beginning of 2008, the list of richest Russians contained 101 billionaires; a magical number that for the time being will not be matched. The global crisis hit hard in Russia. Exactly a year later, there are only 49 Russians with fortunes of ten figures or more. This drop was behind the decision to publish a second, revised edition of 101 Billionaires, the Crisis Edition. 

101 Billionaires shows the other side of modern Russia, the raw reality that lurks behind the façade of the power elite. Rob Hornstra visited the regions to which Moscow has its exorbitant wealth to thank. Here he used his camera to record the fact that the Russian hinterland itself sees little of this prosperity. 

The Crisis Edition has a print run of 1,000 copies. It has a hard cover and smaller format, but no fold-out pages and is therefore cheaper. The text has been adapted here and there to reflect current events. 



The special edition The 'Crisis Box' is a signed copy, collector’s edition of the book 101 Billionaires (crisis edition) and includes one (original) contact-print on the cover of a specially designed and handcrafted box (21,5 × 18 × 2,5 ). The contact-prints are produced exclusively for the ‘Crisis Box’ release, and will not be available anywhere else afterwards. Every box has an original archive number and copy nr 1/27.

Stefanie Grätz 'Groninger'

The population of the province of Groningen , the most northern province of the
Netherlands, is diminishing. As with many rural communities however newcomers often receive a frosty welcome.

The Dutch government tries to stimulate people to move to the province by improving living and working conditions. 
And who would have thought that one finds the newcomers not only in the human world.....

Sterre Sprengers 'New Primeval Nature'

In 1990 is the Nature planning policy outlined, which stipulates that the Netherlands should consist of 728,500 hectares of nature in 2018, a threefold increase. To achieve this, new pieces of land are allocated as nature development areas. Together with existing nature they form the Ecological Main Structure, an unbroken nature-infrastructure, connecting all nature reserves in the Netherlands. Nature should regain the character and value it had before human interference and cultivation. Nature will be left to its own devices. This New Primeval Nature is started now in the Netherlands, and will regain its original character not until twenty years. Make-ability of nature feels like a contradiction. What kind of primeval nature is that, to let itself be created?

Edition: Paperback 400 copies size: 24 x 30 cm llustrations: 40 photo’s 56 pages Text contribution: Tracy Metz.

Special edition: new primeval nature can not be created in a day. After a year or two this new nature slowly starts to show the results of the Dutch policy. The Special Edition of my book is re-photography. With exactly the same viewpoint I have photographed how nature has developed within two years. 
Is this what the Netherlands wants with her nature?

Willem Popelier 'AND WILLEM'

AND WILLEM documents an analytical search for the creation of identity and representation, in a story about the youth of separated twins. Using an extensive family tree and photography, the narrative is systematically charted and developed. Portraits of the twins and their family are created in the same detached manner as objects from the past, such as train tickets and the many keys to the twins’ various family homes. The book is Willem Popelier’s analytical, almost scientific documentation of his own youth.

Wytske van Keulen 'We would come to doubt everything. And almost everyone would come to doubt'

The book, We would come to doubt everything. And almost everyone would come to doubt deals with Juan, a Dutch dentist who, thirty years ago, left everything behind to start a new life in a remote mountain village in Spain. Juan leads the life of a hermit, immersing himself in books on religion, alternative philosophies, the falsification of history and conspiracy theories. By including a short work of fiction by artist/writer Nickel van Duijvenboden, Van Keulen stretches the limits of the documentary genre and explicitly appeals to the viewer’s imagination.
