Machiel Botman in Books, One Tree

My latest book One Tree has been published, with Nazraeli Press. Mostly photographed since 2005 and in Italy.

The Dutch photographer shows black-and-white images from his new book, “One Tree,” most of which seem to be about things glimpsed in passing—a world more lost than found. Figures are a ghostly blur or a half-seen reflection; landscapes dissolve and shatter. The work is dreamy and disorienting and sometimes results from multiple exposures: a chair floats before a building façade; a white horse is superimposed on the view of a distant house on a hill. But even the most seemingly straightforward pictures can leave you in a world of uncertainty.
