Catalogue information
A portrait of self-confident, highly educated, busy Dutch women between the ages of forty and fifty. Most of them live in the big city and have a creative profession. Bob Bronshoff, 45, took two photos of each woman. Marja Pruis, 43, interviewed them in their own environment and used their statements, reflections and life facts as building blocks for a written portrait. Their lives are partly determined by choices from the past and are partly still open to the future. Physical changes force us to 're-invent what we want to look like. How it should not be done is easier to imagine than how it should be. ' At the same time, the psyche becomes stronger and more stable. 'Debilitating uncertainties disappear, new energy is released.' Very accessible and beautifully written, light-footed and slightly wistful portrait, with 86 beautiful full-page black and white photos. Many women over 40 will find 'comfort' in it, or at least identify with it.
