sixty six year old photographer marrigje de maar has an enduring love affair with the forgotten regions of china and has just returned from a trip to the tibetan plateaus

she will be holding several exhibitions of her new work in the coming year, including a large show at huis marseille in amsterdam in early 2011

…each portrait consist of more than fifty different images. The various expressions blend in to perhaps one true self. What they know is what you know, by looking at them….

an interesting new series of multiple portraits by local photographer katrien franken, the effect is very similar to a series shot by german photographer michael wesely when shooting a whole class of school children using multiple exposures on one sheet of film, the heads in his shots also tended to morph into one generic face… much like this but then composed of something like 30 different children (see below)

some surprising images of everyday life in russia from uzbekistan to the caucasus, taken roughly 100 years ago… in colour

update sept 1st: many thanks to photographer ‘jacques verschuren for pointing out an error: the pictures, it appears are not colour at all, the originals were black & white glass negatives which have been digitally ‘colour printed’ by the american library of congress
