One presence.
More than one image.

There is a fraction of a second between the breath and the click. A small movement, a change in expression, something neither of us planned. Duality explores what happens when we stop trying to control the image, and something neither of us expected appears.

01 / THE JOURNEY

Twenty days.
Six cities.
A different way of seeing.

In 2015, I left the Netherlands to travel through Brazil. Over twenty days and six cities, I photographed the people and places I encountered along the way.

Next Door Journal grew out of that experience. Everyday life, fleeting encounters, and everything I was discovering along the way came together in its pages.

The book was published at the Bienal do Livro in Rio de Janeiro in 2015.

03 / THE BOOK

How the journey
became a book.

The photographs became a way to revisit the places, people, and moments that made the journey. Bringing them together in a book was part of that experience.
