Description

Viviane Sassen’s photographic approach in Modern Alchemy combines enigmatic compositions with a nuanced exploration of transformation and materiality. The images evoke a sense of mystery and wonder, engaging with themes of change and the elemental forces that shape natural and crafted worlds.

The 149-page volume, co-authored with philosopher Emanuele Coccia and published by Jbe Books in 2022, presents a dialogue between visual art and philosophical inquiry. Sassen’s striking interplay of shadow, form, and texture complements Coccia’s reflections on the essence of alchemy in contemporary life.
