Viviane Sassen: Folio

monoFolio is a collection of photographs that illustrates the birth of Dutch artist Viviane Sassen’s visual language. All of the images presented in this work were taken in the mid-1990s, when she was just embarking on her career as a photographer.

Favouring a spontaneous and personal approach, Sassen uses her immediate surroundings and environment as her preferred subjects. These images reflect a taste for staging, framing, and perspective that she delopped early on. These stylistic tools allow her to incarnate the strange and even disturbing aspects at the heart of everything we deem familiar.

Initially conceived as a book project, the work would go on to be published years later, following the photographer’s encounter with Note Note Éditions.
