"This new work ,Of Mud and Lotus', is focusing on artist’s attention for female power and with collages and unique hand- coloured pieces, renowned dutch photographer Viviane SASSEN creates images in which abstraction and performance intertwine.
In this evocative and imaginary realm of intense colour and textures, the imagery is rich with associative references that allow for layered readings and responses.
Her new works also include seemingly abstract compositions: mundane objects and apparently incidental motifs are transformed with collage, filters and streaks of pigment to the point of where their original forms lie unrecognizable below Viviane SASSEN’s interventions.
After the success of the former publication 'Lexicon', this is the 2nd 'Japanese photo book' the artist has published. With the delicate embroidery on the cover, the book design represents SASSEN’s aesthetic eye on the world." (© Artbeat, 2018)
