Barbaranalogica

Uittreksel

In the book 'Barbaranalogica' photographer Barbara van Ittersum brings to light a world we are not so familiar with. She introduces us to the Barbarizsm; a visual language, oozing femininity. This language is not only used by women, but also understood, felt and even embodied by men. With her Barbarizsm, Barbara addresses various topics such as religion, sexuality, nature, culture clashes, deprivation of freedom and identity. To Barbara, her analogue camera is not so much an instrument, as an extension of her perception. She doesn't miss an opportunity and leaves no taboo untouched. As a viewer, you often feel like a voyeur. Barbara's photos are both confrontational and provocative, and delightfully beautiful on top of that.
