Viviane Sassen employs a distinctive visual approach that blends abstraction with figuration, exploring the interplay between light, shadow, and color to create evocative photographic compositions.

The photobook Phosphor presents an extensive body of work spanning 528 pages, reflecting Sassen’s ongoing investigation into the boundaries of perception and representation. With a focus on form and texture, the images challenge conventional interpretations of the human figure and natural elements.
