ANK, Another Kind of Need by Marijn Bax
A photobook by Dutch photographer Marijn Bax.
This project consists of a publication and audio work. All images and sounds are from the garden of Ank van Peski, Heesterlust, in Leidschendam, the Netherlands. For three years Marijn walked the many paths of this two-hectare garden: a long and narrow stretched piece of land descending thirteen feet into the meadows of the Dutch peatland area. Here, she watched, wondered, observed, photographed, and recorded the human hand at work. Step by step Marijn became more aware of the visual, physical and mental interplay of the depth and layers in this enchanting garden and the need for gardening.
Designed by leading Dutch graphic designer Linda van Deursen, the untrimmed, unconventional binding and the deep black tones reminiscent of Xerox copies with inserted colour pages emphasise the distinctive atmosphere of the work.
