UZELF, MEVROUW, Baedeker voor de huisvrouw, 1993 (1st (foundation) year at Art College)
(Yourself, Madam, Baedeker for the housewife)

The original book was taken apart. Using the original texts & images (plus added imagery found in
womens' magazines and personal photographs) a new book was created through cutting, sticking,
photo copying and re-binding. The new content is slightly more 'emancipated' than the original,
but should not be taken too seriously.

The book was shown at the exhibition Artists’ Books: Between Tradition and Experiment,
Museum Meermanno Westreenianum, The Hague, 1995

Below is a selection of spreads from the book and 'poems' created by cutting up the original text
and putting the words in a completely different order untill they seemed to mean something again.
