Falling From a Height by Martijn Berk |
"'falling from a height
the story of an obsession for a 20-year old boy
intimacy
Apollo vs. Dyonisus
more than 4.000 photos in an honest story
sexuality voyeurism'
These are the buzz words that the 34-year-old photographer uses in the trailer for his book and I don’t want to add anything.
Only that the book with 50 large format black and white images, a few thousand mini pics flooding the pages like movie clips and text fragments by Oscar van den Boogaard keeps the promise of the trailer.
You can’t just stand on the sideline making comments." -- Hannes Wanderer
