Content
This out-of-print publication reconstructs the process from unpublished documents – contact prints, sketches, maps – and illuminates not only the nihilist worldview of the young people he befriends but also the cinematographic layout of the book, 'Love on the Left Bank' by Ed van der ELSKEN. A fiction extracted from these documents confronts the original narrative that the Dutch photographer established in the book, a visual story accompanied by a text by Tamara Berghmans."
