‘Muscle Play (stealing strength)’ 2022-2026 (ongoing)
series of playful combinations of some of my photo works
with photos cut out from a French 80s MUSCLE magazine
the combinations were made and photographed on iphone in 2022
and these were ink jet printed on A4 size - and cut out - in 2026

here a series of 5 in the group show ‘Second Skin’
curated by Radek Vana in C. Galerie in Hoofddorp 2026
