We recently had the pleasure of meeting Dutch photographer Marloes Verhoeven. Marloes recently completed 2 photo series. They are entitled ‘Lost in Prison’ , which documents life in a womens prison in El Salvador and ‘Adios Tatuajes’, which documents a clinic in San Salvador where young gang members can remove tattoos representative of their gang membership.
Project 36 explores the participant’s photographic abilities and gives the insiders point of view into a world of their own. Whereas the participants would usually use photography as a means of documentation, they are now faced with the challenge to show a part of themselves.
This project also sheds light on the importance of analog technology, keeping each and every step of the process a hands-on experience for us and the participant.
As the title implies, each participant creates a series of 36 photos which will be presented in the form of a limited edition publication.
Stay tuned for more information.
With Kind Regards
Detroit has economically suffered worse than any other major American city. The current climate of recession is reflected in huge urban decay.
Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre documented this disintegration, showcasing structures that were formerly a source of civic pride, and which now stand as monuments to the city’s fall from grace.
Today a solo exhibition by Ari Marcopoulos opens in the Galerie Frank Elbaz in Paris.
