The result is not a portrait, but a double exposure of identity, projection, and control. Over three years, Bieke Depoorter and Agata staged a prolonged, unstable collaboration that shifted constantly between complicity and confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eStructured as a chronological sequence of photographs, handwritten letters, marginalia, and staged scenes, the book invites the reader to choose whether to open the sealed pages and reveal the hidden counter-narratives within. The Japanese binding, with its perforated folds, becomes a physical metaphor: what remains closed, what is revealed, and who decides. There is no fixed truth here — only overlapping interpretations, ruptures, and mistrust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eThis signed second edition, self-published by Des Palais in 2022 with an additional addendum, is already out of print.
