Photographers in Focus: Viviane Sassen

From Amsterdam to Kenya with the Dutch image-maker documenting shifting shapes and bending bodies

For Dutch-born artist and fashion photographer Viviane Sassen, it is not Arnhem or Amsterdam but a village in the remote west of rural Kenya that holds the biggest sway over her creative voice. Sassen, the subject of the latest episode of our flagship series Photographers in Focus, spent her early years in the East African country, learning much from its “bright sunlight and dark shadows.” It is a subject to which she has returned again and again.

nownessNEW! Street artist Vhils (link in the bio 👉🏽 @vhils) makes Beijing his canvas for a new solo exhibition . Street Artist Vhils is best known for his unique relief carving graffiti process, making the walls of the cities he works in his medium. Carving out the façades of old buildings, he produces impressively delicate portraits of faces from the neighborhood that each project momentarily inhabits. In a new film, shot on the occasion of Imprint at Beijing's CAFA Art Museum, the artist’s first solo exhibition in the city, Lisbon-based director José Pando Lucas captures a textural walking tour of the city in the run up to the show, including insight into the footage being made. Here, he talks about the project: . “Rooted in the visual narrative that Vhils has been presenting on walls since starting his Scratching the Surface series in 2007, Imprint is a unique installation featuring the use of a single medium—the author's signature bas-relief wall carving technique. . Comprising some 70 portraits in total, the exhibition is a pivotal statement that seeks to expand on the fundamental premise behind this series: the act of working with the city itself as the prime material, while focusing on the concept of reciprocal shaping by which both the city and its citizens develop a shared character. Imprint is both an analytical look at the characteristics of contemporary urban life and a poetic gesture highlighting the transformation of identity at the heart of this new chapter in human development.” .
