| Karine Versluis (1980) |
|
In my work I seek to question how people deal with their identity, culture and the society they’re living in. I use photography and sometimes a combination with found footage and text to show personal real-life stories of individuals.
In 2007 the book 'STAPHORST' was published.
Currently I am working on 'Enkeltje Schiphol' (One-way to Schiphol airport), a photo-documentary about teenagers from the island Curaçao (Dutch Antilles) that move on their own to The Netherlands to find a new life there. And Puja, a photo-documentary about traditions and rituals in the Surinam Hindu community.
