two weeks ago, we spent a day in the studio with dutch stand-up comedienne ‘ellen dikker’ shooting the poster image for her new show ‘horten en stoten’ an expression which translates in english as ‘fits and starts’, the literal meaning however is more something like ‘bumps and scratches’
the day mainly involved wrapping ellen in protective foam sheets, covering her in plasters and bandages but we eventually settled on a rather uncomfortable and large orthopedic neck brace, the brief for the image in terms of styling was ‘mid sixties record sleeves’ and the image was shot by rietveld photography student ‘martine folkersma’ with assistance from ‘bernard van dongen’, we will be working on the actual poster during the coming months…
