Joke Robaard (1953, NL), artist, photographer and originally trained in fashion, is interested in human relationships and networks, what brings groups together and how this manifests itself. Through clothing she illustrates how and where the connections lie and 'directs' the individuals in certain positions and patterns in relation to one another. These images are then photographed or filmed.

Joke Robaard - Folders, Suits, Pockets, Files, Stocks can be seen as a collection of half-opened boxes that show Robaard’s working method, ideas and sources. The book starts with Robaard’s most recent project and goes back to the first photo sessions in 1988. | back
