Bierenbroodspot – The Presence of the Past –

“Time Travelling with the Artist. The live journal of Dutch artist Gerti Bierenbroodspot’s journeys into the timeless ancient world.

Painter, sculptor, and poet, Bierenbroodspot brings her ‘iconic landscapes’ to life with hundreds of new, unpublished photographs of her years living and working in the deserts of Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and at her caravanserai beside the rose-red city of Petra in Jordan. These are pictures of her Time Travels, the objects and adventures and dreams that she takes with her into her studio. With such treasures as the starting point for her art, she creates a highly personal vision of a modernity grand in theme as well as in manner. The spectacular freshness and individuality of her artist’s eye makes this book a joy from start to finish.”
