Of Mud and Lotus

Hardcover English / Japanese 128 pages 23.5 x 30 cm 788 g

Description

The photobook explores the interplay of natural elements and human form through a distinct visual language characterized by abstract compositions and bold use of color. It delves into themes of identity and transformation by juxtaposing organic textures, such as mud and lotus, with fragmented human silhouettes, creating a tension between earthiness and delicacy.

Viviane Sassen’s approach emphasizes the expressive potential of light, shadow, and surface, often rendering her subjects in ways that challenge literal representation and invite interpretive engagement. The 128-page volume, published in 2017 by AKAAKA Art Publishing, encapsulates this strategy, presenting a cohesive body of work that balances fine art photography with conceptual depth.
