'Hide' - Frieke Janssens

'Hide' - Frieke Janssens

Over the past twenty years, Frieke Janssens has built up a solid reputation in the field of staged photography. Her imagery is both surprising and playful and betrays a great sense of humor. It is often imbued with tension and her works exude an unspoken, tragic undercurrent. Janssens' images are lushly beautiful, but touch on subjects that are not: death, smoking, drinking and the battle between the sexes.
