Background information
"After the Dutch photographer Cuny JANSSEN was included by Martin PARRin his voluminous 'The Photobook History: Volume II', and in view of the limited number of copies (1,000), these editions could very rapidly become highly collectable.
Content
The photo volume 'My Grandma was a Turtle' by Cuny JANSSEN contains a collection of particularly American motifs, that culminates in double-sided images of the prairie depicting considerable numbers of bison. Here too, the artist connects landscape photographs with portraits of the inhabitants, yet she is less interested in merely comparing them: rather the hand-pasted, individual photographic reproductions lend the edition a unique format, which might readily be compared to early photograph albums or collectors’ albums for cigarette cards and suchlike."
