In her research into the underlying logic of the organic world, the Italian artist Maura Biava applies mathematical series of numbers to ceramic forms. Her work is complemented by Anne Geene's photographic arrangements of leaves, Emily Joyce's painted rhythmic abstractions and the nature-inspired designs that designer Saskia van Drimmelen learned from Bulgarian women.

There is not a person in sight at the scrap yard. It's a battle of machine against machine, each with its own rhythm. Sometimes slow sometimes the sparks fly. Engelberts also saw this cycle at sea, where the seabed is stimulated and oil flows upwards in shock. Download PDF

"Manufactured Manual confronts what photography is, what it does, and takes it out of its comfort zone." Download PDF

"The Minox Files, a particularly beautiful photo book in postcard format. From snow-capped peaks, hotel rooms and the fringes of world cities, to beautiful girls and everyday scenes. Most in black and white, a handful in color. And all a bit out of focus or scratched, which gives the collection something mysterious and magical." Download PDF

"A small, tight, and brilliantly-conceived book of diminutive images where the camera’s technical limitations meet the innovation of imagination to unlock these small works <...> and to put the world back into some sort of imaginative perspective organized in a book the size of a human hand." Go to online article

"Extremely small negatives result in not too sharp and therefore, in the right hands, extremely poetic photos. Brought together in The Minox Files, a whirl of almost four hundred pages that – in an alternately dreamy and swinging image rhythm – with humor, suspense, and a never in vain appeal to our voyeuristic nature, leaves the reader/viewer confused."
