Culture
I work as a multimedia photographer/artist, known as producer of among other things, the international prizewinning design book Utilite ( awarded with the silver medal for best book design in Leipzig) and the photo-art book Jorinde-admitted in the library of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Fascinated by Japanese culture and my own journey through life, i photograph the curiosities of everyday life.
I document and archive these, creating a complete work of art, consisting of photography interviews, music, film objects and book-art.
