Retracing
For a new book by artist and photo collector Rein Jelle Terpstra, I translated two essays written by Arjen Mulder & Hanne Hagenaars plus an interview with the artist, from Dutch into English (many thanks to Annie Goodner for excellent proofreading).

It will be published by post editions in september 2013 and launched during the Unseen Photo Fair 2013.
