What does it mean to have your own visual signature? What is difficult to put into words is all the easier to recognize with the eyes. Sarah van Rij’s photographs have such a strong recognition value that you can recognize them from thousands. Whether commissioned by fashion houses such as Hermès or Dior, for renowned magazines such as The New York Times or for herself personally: Anyone who has seen one of the Dutchwoman’s works will recognize her visual language everywhere. She creates something just as grandiose with an iPhone as she does with a camera. And if you look very closely, you will catch a glimpse of the silhouette of the photographer herself in a distorted reflection or in hidden shadows. With “Atlas of Echoes”, her first photo book has been published by the Parisian niche publisher Note Note Éditions.
Sarah van Rij: Atlas of Echoes
“Atlas of Echoes” brings together the Dutch photographer’s entire visual spectrum between the covers of the book. Black and white and color, city and country, personal works and commissions as well as hand-pasted collages of her own photographs prove that Sarah van Rij knows how to express her style in every kind of photography. “Atlas of Echoes” is her first monograph. Together with her partner David van der Leeuw, she has already published “Metropolitan Melancholia” and for Louis Vuitton’s “Fashion Eye” series, she traveled to South Korea and created visual worlds for “Fashion Eye Seoul”.
