Mariken Wessels: Queen Ann. P.S. Belly cut off

Queen Ann. P.S. Belly cut off  is the unfolding of a melancholic narrative of a woman, whose life seems to be dominated by her obesity. Yet the reader is never turned into a voyeur. ‘Queen Ann’s’ peculiar and touching photo collages of herself, expressing a longing for another ‘being’, are fused with the image that the book evokes around her persona.

Mariken Wessels: Elisabeth - I want to eat -

Elisabeth - I want to eat - consists of a collection of anonymous photographs, letters and postcards belonging to a young woman, which the artist stumbled upon in a shop in the Hendrik Jacobszstraat in Amsterdam. Wessels appropriates the found material in her own way, by photographing the images, creatively processing and arranging them, as well as occasionally adding her own material.

Arnon Grunberg: Letters to Esther (Dutch: Brieven aan Esther)

In the period leading up to the publication of his first novel Blue Mondays (1994), Arnon Grunberg maintained a written correspondence with a 'student' named Esther. The book Letters to Esther is a compilation of these letters. Letters to Esther is the result of a unique collaboration between Arnon Grunberg and Alauda Publications. The entanglement of personal biography and professional development of both author and publisher, is a rare find in the book world. (Photo: © Peter Daalderop)
