Drawing no clear line between the two, \u003cem data-end=\"385\" data-start=\"375\"\u003ePhosphor\u003c\/em\u003e moves between editorial, personal, and experimental modes—fusing fashion commissions with deeply surreal portraiture, performance, and photographic interventions that cut, mask, and double the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1122\" data-start=\"587\"\u003eFrom the stark monochromes of her 1990s work for \u003cem data-end=\"644\" data-start=\"636\"\u003ePurple\u003c\/em\u003e to the vivid pigment-saturated bodies and shadows of her later African series, this is Sassen at her most fearless—pushing photographic form through colour fields, hard light, and uncanny gesture. Her women bend backwards over stone or merge into print like hallucinations; reflections multiply in crushed mirrors; colour is never illustrative, but constitutive. Throughout, Sassen reclaims the female image from passive display, letting it become abstract, rhythmic, eruptive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1443\" data-start=\"1124\"\u003eNot a greatest-hits anthology, but an artist’s archive in flux, \u003cem data-end=\"1198\" data-start=\"1188\"\u003ePhosphor\u003c\/em\u003e stages a restless visual language shaped by fashion’s surface and art’s interior demands. Sassen’s work resists the boundary between applied image and conceptual inquiry, dissolving fashion photography into something stranger and more electric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1464\" data-start=\"1445\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1464\" data-start=\"1445\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1787\" data-start=\"1466\"\u003eTitle: \u003cem data-end=\"1525\" data-start=\"1473\"\u003eViviane Sassen — Phosphor: Art \u0026amp; Fashion 1990–2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1528\" data-start=\"1525\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Viviane Sassen\u003cbr data-end=\"1562\" data-start=\"1559\"\u003eDate: 2023\u003cbr data-end=\"1575\" data-start=\"1572\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Colour and black-and-white photography, mixed media, collage\u003cbr data-end=\"1667\" data-start=\"1664\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardback monograph\u003cbr data-end=\"1708\" data-start=\"1705\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-end=\"1728\" data-start=\"1725\"\u003ePages: 320\u003cbr data-end=\"1741\" data-start=\"1738\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Prestel\u003cbr data-end=\"1771\" data-start=\"1768\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52431974957394,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/MAISONSCLOSES_3_d5d915b4-a196-42eb-8dbe-58a70ef6e3c6.jpg?v=1768213242","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/viviane-sassen-phosphor-art-fashion-1990-2023","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
