SKETCHES by Viviane Sassen [FIRST EDITION / SIGNED]
オランダ人フォトグラファーのヴィヴィアン・サッセン(Viviane Sassen)の作品集。本書は2002年から2010年にかけてアフリカで撮られたポラロイド写真で構成され、作家の出世作でもある「Flamboya」の制作時期と重なることから、現在既に作家固有のスタイルとして確立されている「ステージフォト」の原点を見ることが出来る。本書デザインは「Flamboya」も手掛けた「-SYB-」によるもの。
Sketches includes Polaroids made in Africa between 2002 and 2010. This publication could serve as an introduction to the work of Viviane Sassen and specially during the period of the Flamboya work. Sketches captures the raw energy of spontaneously staged street scenes and shows an inside view on the creative process of Viviane Sassens photography. The design of the publication is by Sybren Kuiper (-SYB-), who also designed the highly acclaimed Flamboya book. The reproductions of Polaroid piles suggests the 3 dimensional feeling of a real Polaroid. The tactile finish of the embossed cardboard cover and the binding with stitched black thread makes this publication just incredibly balanced.
