A small but important book, made and signed by Viviane Sassen in 2015. Designed by Sybren Kuiper. Stamped cardboard cover. Binded with stitched black thread. 36 pages. Sketches shows Polaroids made in Africa between 2002 and 2010. This book could be an explanation or a introducion to the previous Flamboya book and project but in fact Sketches is a small and magic book on its own, showing the beautiful universe of Viviane Sassens photography. Viviane normally uses polaroids as sketches and tryouts before taking the final picture, like most of the fashion and advertisment photographers used to do. But In the book it seems like that the polaroids start to live their own life, capturing the raw energy of a spontaneously staged street scene, building together a new photobook that becomes a piece of its own. Viviane Sassen is a Dutch female photographer. A world-renowned fashion commercial photographer who has made a name for himself in fashion magazines such as "id" and "Purple". Having lived in Kenya as a child due to his father's work, "Africa" has become the root of Sassen's work, with conceptual style, unique production and experimental expression, unique form coloring, etc.
