My artist book focuses on the photographer Liesje
Reyskens. We had to create our own vision of the artist but it was very
important that the artist remained recognizable. This assignment was a
challenge because it’s very difficult to merge two persons (me and the artist)
together in some images. In the end I used her concept of the dark side behind
her colorful, fairy tale images and make it into my own vision. She lets people
reflect on the reality, that it’s not as nice at many may think. I used a photo
inventory with black and white photographs of my own objects, with which I have
an emotional relationship with (in a good but also bad way). Next I lay a
plastic sheet, with the colours that Liesje Reyskens uses most in her work,
over my photo’s. To let people see that she only makes reality look beautiful
due to her fairy tale like and colorful pictures. Everything has a ‘dark side’
that is beneath the surface.
