At age ten Annemarieke acquired a camera for the first time, her mother’s, merely after her passing. By picking up the camera she was adept to perceive her mother slightly better by photographing small moments; her father’s hands, light reflecting on the water—it was her way of keeping a diary. In recent years she felt it essential to revisit this approach of spirit, by capturing moments during travels through Arizona, California, Paris and Amsterdam. The memory of her mother is piercing in the pictures but also cacti with wooden supports so they won’t fall, of walls, and stones, some from Georgia O’Keefe’s collection, a towel on a beach, a friend’s old chair, women, men, seen as close-up as photographically possible. A narrative of recognisable familial warmth intertwining with herself becoming a mother for the first time. Blue was her mother’s favourite color. A very dark blue. By hand printing cyanotypes (or blue prints; a technique invented in 1800’s, by Anna Atkins, a British botanist also considered the first woman photographer) for Tadaima, Annemarieke endeavoured to attain as close to her mother’s blue as she can remember. Tadaima is loosely translated from Japanese as I just came home. The book contains a preface by Annemarieke van Drimmelen, written expressly to her late mother. First edition of 700 copies. Special edition of 50 copies, numbered, in paperboard slipcase, screen printed in blue, with signed original print. Choice of 2 prints. → Shortlisted for The Agents Club Photography Awards, 2020 [/spb_toggle] [spb_toggle title="+ Publication details" open="false" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] Published in 2019 by Libraryman ISBN 978–91–88113–30–6 24,5 cm x 30,5 cm. 80 pages. 69 color plates.

Diamond Cross – John Balsom
Books & MagazinesJohn Balsom’s (b. 1970, British) first book Diamond Cross evokes an intimate and poignant contemplation and self-examination through the religious part of American West culture. With its enduring and symbolic icon of the cowboy, which has predominantly been characterised through centuries in the media as gunfighters on horseback, the series tells a earthly tale from exceptional pastures, its rich scenery and with a raging past.

Library Man – A Selection of a Decade
Books & MagazinesLibraryman was founded on the primary principle of realising contemporary photography in book form—consistently concise and limited edition. From a relatively insular aesthetic endeavour, initially a few titles were published each year, which has gradually and organically grown for each existing year. A Selection from a Decade is published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Libraryman by showing the width of the imprint and summarising the operating years with a selection of endearing pictures from an ever-growing catalogue.

Lucile Boiron – Womb
Books & MagazinesLucile Boiron (b. 1990, French) explores and exhausts fragments of flesh, these moments when human nature appears for what it is, that is, perishable. Far from making an inventory of the feeling of revulsion, she questions the body’s biological truth, and attempts a photographic answer to the issue of good and bad taste.

Shane Lavalette – New Monuments
Books & MagazinesSeasons Series draws inspiration from Kim Ki-Duk’s seminal film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring in which different actors, for each season, play the same character who is abandoned on a lake next to a floating monastery. The film specifically focuses on the shifting nature of the seasons and its effects on the protagonist’s fosterage. The books take their lead from the film in that simple and profound ideas, human passions and spirituality can be perceived differently depending on the season.
