Marks of Honour - A striking Library
As a homage to the photobook per se the exhibition
Marks Of Honour – A Striking Library has been created in a
cooperation between Amsterdam galerist Willem van Zoetendaal
and Cologne bookseller Markus Schaden. They have invited
45 international photographers to choose a photobook which was
influential to the formation of their work, and to pay it artistical homage.

All participating works (limited to five copies, each containing the original
photobook and it´s complentary homage) offer a wide spectrum that´s
often surprising in detail: Martin Parr has chosen Arakis Banquet, Koos
Breukel has chosen Ed van der Elsken, Todd Hido will comment on Susan
Sontags On Photography.
In sum Marks Of Honour constitutes a singular library and a system of
reference on the most sustainable influences as much as the freshest in
contemporary photography.
My homage to the photo book is dedicated to Lee Friedlander and
his publication "Like a One-Eyed Cat". These photographs
have influenced me since the time of my studies in the early 80s. They
opened my view for the complexity of the perception of every day life.
For the edition "Marks of Honour" I put together twelve photographs
from my recent project "Drift" as inkjet prints in a
portfolio with an original photograph on the cover. Limited to five copies
it is available combined with the book "Like a One-Eyed Cat"
by Lee Friedlander in a linen slipcase.
