A gesture

The catalog 'A Gesture' showcases the work of 180 graduates from the University of the Arts Utrecht that have each made a gesture in their own way. Their gestures are explored through themes of Approach, Arouse, Merge, Question and Revive. These themes allow for a categorisation based on stories, rather than studies.

The book contains a total of 310 pages and is printed using offset technique. It's wrapped in a screen-printed sleeve complimented by a green elastic-band that holds everything in place.
In collaboration with

Juul van der Zandt & Valentino Angela

Une Arrita, I arrived.

A photo installation accompanied by a book that studies the notion of identity from the point of view of someone who has lived in- and outside of it, and acted as a bridge between two places and two cultures.
