Contact Sheet 84

Contact Sheet 84 features the work of Sylvia de Swaan from her Return series, with an artist statement by de Swaan and an essay by Adrian Giurgea. The series is about memory and identity, and according to de Swaan, “It is a self-portrait and a journey, a quest for remnants of history erased by war.”
