Corbino's Bijbel

Abstract

From homeless to queen, from Hazes to Sweden, no one escapes Corbino's gaze. The Dutch photographer, filmmaker and writer Corbino aims to move people with his work. His personal and striking portraits are carved in crisp black and white, interspersed with some remarkable color photographs. Many of the portraits of this self-taught artist are now considered icons within Dutch portrait photography. 'Corbino's Bible' brings together 40 years of portraiture and encounters in ten Bible chapters. The beautiful photos are accompanied by texts that explain the oeuvre and origin of this pastor's son. The series of references to the Old and New Testaments do justice to the title. From pride as the greatest threat to infinite empathy for the other, these are all elements that are interwoven in the life and work of Corbino.
