Katrien De Blauwer – You Could At Least Pretend To Like Yellow

Katrien De Blauwer – You Could At Least Pretend To Like Yellow
Books & MagazinesKatrien De Blauwer (b. 1969, Belgian) does not care much for the colour yellow—therefore, the tone is the basis for her latest work. Yellow; a colour equally representing clarity and honor, as well as cowardice and deceit.

Initially, while observing the new works, we couldn’t resist to draw a loose parable to Vilgot Sjöman’s 1967 erotic motion picture I Am Curious (Yellow); an original comedy about politics, the sexual liberation of a young woman, and psychological analysis. The film immediately attracted a ban during its release in the U.S., leading to a proceeding in the Supreme Court. Taking inflation into account, the film remained record-breaking among foreign releases in the United States for several decades. An American critic described the film as “about as good for you as drinking furniture polish.” Furniture polish, is in majority, yellowish—as well as its packaging labels. The following day led to a coincidence when De Blauwer, while in an antique store, found the film’s book, published in 1968, which illustrates the film’s complete scenario. Meanwhile, De Blauwer, unaware of the film up until that point, is awaiting to see the actual film, and is consistently pretending to like yellow. The book contains the verso of each work, which rarely has been shown before, and is as unique as its recto. All works are printed in their actual and individual size. Signed edition of 250 copies. First edition of 450 copies.

Annemarieke van Drimmelen – Tadaima
Books & MagazinesTadaima by Annemarieke van Drimmelen (b. 1978, Dutch) is an intimate portrait in respect to the heartache and its beauty of a journey homeward.

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.
