June - Produced largely on the Greek island of Hydra, the images in this publication reimagine a child's eye that still has an untouched vision of the world. In trying to capture the unspoilt aspect of their environment, the artist couple found a new way of working that was inspired by the things their daughter pointed out on their walks around the island. It led photographer van Drimmelen to focus on small, intimate details such as an animal shape formed by a wire, debris they found on the beach. Or the face they encountered in the deteriorating wall of a deserted hotel in an empty bay on the island.
The photographs were then painted by Krabbé to add a second, supernatural layer. The unexpected combination of paint and photo, sometimes with poems by Krabbé, glued directly to the surface. They bring hybrid images that allude to a “third person”, composed of the collaborative vision of two artists.
The images are altered by going back and forth in a process of mutual trust; discarding each other's images along the way and welcoming the unexpected. For them, making this work is a real journey into the innocence of a child's vision of the world.
