The artist's first monograph brings together pictures from various trips to Africa. Although she grew up in the Netherlands, she lived in Kenya between the ages of two and five, while her father worked in a local hospital, and her first return to the continent came in 2001, at twenty-nine. The book is made mostly of portraits built collaboratively with her subjects, some spontaneous and others performative: as with memories or thoughts, the pictures are not isolated but form a fluid stream of associations.
