Desiree Dolron, one of the most remarkable figures of contemporary Dutch photography, aspires to an aesthetic of the absolute that combines mystery, violence and perfection. Her first series on religious rituals, Exaltation, explores trance and mutilation; Gaze is a series of underwater portraits at the boundaries of life and death; Xteriors digitally revisits Flemish painting to create a distant, sacred, strained world.
