Description
An account of the resource
Francesca Allen’s Konkursas depicts participants in Lithuania’s Konkursas Pasaulio Ilgaplaukės annual competition for the world’s longest hair. Here hundreds of girls and women with thousands of feet of hair walk the runway and have their lovingly groomed hair measured by gloved judges, before shaking it in a ceremonial finale. Allen’s fascination with ritual and coming-of-age sparked her interest in the contest, one which blends pageantry with folklore and allows the artist to deepen her thoughts on hair within femininity: “Hair influences how we are perceived by others, how professional we appear, our identity, our religion and culture. It plays a huge role in the enactment of self and also our discrimination against others.” The resulting photographs—haunting, funny, slightly surreal—explore the dichotomy between modernity and tradition, obsession and aspiration, and ideas of girl- and womanhood.
This book is the first of many to be printed and published by Steidl in collaboration with Chloé Arts, an initiative driven under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali, embracing Chloé’s legacy of female creativity. Its mission is to celebrate outstanding female talent, nurture emerging artists, and create unexpected interdisciplinary conversations across different fields of the arts.

Description
An account of the resource
I am Raajadharshini, a Tamil-born fashion image maker based in London.
My style revolves around treading a line artfully, between documentary, fashion and portraiture. I focus my practice on exploring fashion as a zeitgeist by capturing a variety of raw emotions, real people, communities, and human connections. What empowers my work is the strong sense of vibrant colours and energy that reflect my cultural background.
I want to create work that challenges mainstream representation in fashion - where fashion doesn’t seem very alienating to people.
In terms of fashion imagery, showcasing South Asia is still a small niche that barely has any authentic light to it. India is known for its manufacturing, and our artisanal textile skills are constantly exploited by big names in fashion. But our people are barely seen in the mainstream industry. The so-called 'Indian aesthetics' are often picked up for campaigns and models are used as tokens, but we barely see representation in the background. Very rarely are brown stories and lifestyles discussed. As the fashion world slowly evokes conversations about inclusivity and representation, My project “Koothu” celebrates my background - the people of Tamil Nadu, their lifestyle, clothing, and culture in an effort to anchor my community in contemporary visual culture and fashion imagery. -Frames of real houses and real people in Tamil Nadu that oscillate between youth, joy, leisure, and inner conflicts of characters placed against the vibrancy and chaos of the State.
•
•
“I have felt invisible quite a many times. Does everyone see me? My sister, friend, and neighbours ask me the same question. We see each other, I am not sure about the world. Representation can mean many things, for me. I grew up in Tamil Nadu, a state in India. It is hot year around, rice is our holy grail, the streets are our playgrounds, and street dogs are our confidantes. As I sit in my apartment in London, attempting to articulate the essence of my childhood to my friends from the West, I always fall short. We are from very different worlds.
The chromatic brilliance of simple frames, the chaotic energy of the place, and the most beautiful people, are the only beauty I used to know. Handmade textiles to homegrown food. My celebration and joy, the little leisure of running up to the "pori vandi", a mobile cart with fresh puffed rice and peanut, running up to the "balloon kaar", the man selling all kinds of balloons on a big board on his shoulders, vegetable vendors cycling outside my door, so many lives around me enriching mine”

Description
An account of the resource
During the lockdown period due the Covid virus. We all where constricted in our homes and borders.
Before this all happened. I was planning to travel around and make a photo project. But these plans all felt down the drain.
This made me wonder. What can I do now, how can I still make a body of work in these times?
I’ve had all these dreams to travel far away and making photographs. Just me and my camera, back to how it started for me.
But being stuck at home, made me realize. That I actually know very little about my own country. I always lived in city’s. And especially living in Amsterdam (where I live now) you likely will accommodate in a bubble. A capital bubble.
This almost makes you blind for what is happening outside of that bubble. Recognizing this, made me wonder how the ‘outside’ was looking like. How do the birds sing, people think, live and where do my actual roots coming from.
So I borrowed a bike, because with my city bike I would not get that far. Bought a small tent and left my small apartment in Amsterdam. Into the world of flatlands, unpredictable weather, water, cows and stubborn but kind people.
The series became a on the road photo project. It made me look from a different angle to the country that I live in.
With the photo’s I try to take you with me on this trip. I hope that when you look at the images you almost can feel te cold of the rain, hear the sound of the birds and sense the smell of the soup that has been on the stove the whole day.
If you take a look at this project I think you can find a part of it that can be documentary, but also a part of it feels poetic to me. And that is what I love about photography. There always be this thin line between reality and fiction.

Description
An account of the resource
A poetic and literary artist’s book exploring absence, memory, intimacy, and traces of the other through text and image.
Artist’s Book Trilogy (ongoing project)
L’Élégance de vos absences is an ongoing artist’s book trilogy exploring memory, absence and transmission through photography, writing, family archives and sound.
Conceived from the outset as an artist’s book rather than a photographic publication, the project brings together photographs, autobiographical texts, archival materials, graphic design, handcrafted elements and original music within a single immersive work. Each medium contributes to the narrative, inviting the reader to move between image, text, touch and listening.
Rooted in a family history marked by deportation, exile, silence and fragmented memories, the trilogy transforms intimate traces into reflections on what remains after loss and how personal histories resonate with collective experiences.
Across three autonomous volumes, L’Élégance de vos absences explores the dialogue between individual remembrance and universal questions of inheritance, resilience and transmission.
Volume I – Comme un vivant porte-bonheur (2025)
The first volume inaugurates this long-term artistic research by exploring the fragile relationship between presence and absence, between what is inherited and what remains unspoken.
Emerging from the artist’s family history — marked by the deportation of his grandfather during the Second World War and by the silences that followed — the book does not seek to reconstruct the past. Instead, it examines how memory continues to inhabit the present through fragments, gestures and invisible inheritances.
Photography is interwoven with autobiographical writing, family archives, handwritten documents and handcrafted facsimiles, creating a narrative where each element resonates with the others. The sequencing of images and the material qualities of the book invite a slow reading experience, allowing memory to unfold gradually.
An original musical composition by Thibaut Torzuoli, accessible through an integrated QR code, extends the work beyond the printed page. Sound becomes another dimension of the narrative, where silence, listening and emotion participate in the reader’s experience.
Published in a limited edition of 130 signed copies, Comme un vivant porte-bonheur establishes the artistic and material foundations of the trilogy, affirming the artist’s book as a complete medium where photography, writing, archives, design and sound converge.

Description
An account of the resource
The photographs in the book, titled after Guy Debord's theory of “La Dérive”, reflect what an eye sees when it is not fully present, focusing on the witnessing of those who pass by rather than on living, and being caught in a situationist drift. Within the content that is designed as a personal retrospective, there is a selection from Serap Gecü’s early and recent analog photography series taken in different cities around the world. Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's quote, 'What sees is not the eye, but the landscape,' the artist looks at herself through what she sees in the photographs, which are accompanied by short sentences in French, written by the artist herself. In 2023, the book has been exhibited at border_less Art Book Fair in Istanbul, Athens Art Book Fair, and Vienna Art Book Fair.

Description
An account of the resource
La Disparition is a dip into French spirit weaving together series of pictures taken during Paris Fashion Weeks and the Gilets Jaunes protests in 2018. It explores the link between the world of luxury, the Vendôme column, the Commune, the origin of anger, revolution, circularity, fashion weeks, cycles and sorority through pictures and text. It's an hybrid object where a book is sewn hidden within a book, the pages of text hiding and revealing images echo the notion of high visibility jackets worn by people feeling invisible while the making of the book - no glue, just paper cut, folded and sewn - is like one of clothes.
