COIL / 1st Edition Beste Prijs

Elsje Dezwartes book Coil is a visual and cerebral reflection of everything and nothing, of how humans experience and live through time. It is about human experience across generations; caught in an infinite time loop. The cadence and rhythm of the images slowly carry the viewer along, as time passes. The reader becomes part of the scene and decides for themselves the direction and sequence of events. Are they looking at the present, the past or the future? The landscapes develop their own character, with the capacity to include, embrace and also repel the viewer. You feel the fleeting nature of humanity in the landscape, in these small interventions that are difficult to name.
