Edith Eussen's photo series are based on an associative approach to reality. Different elements and situations are placed next to each other, producing together a new, unexpected overall picture: a rhythmically correct sequence of events, with its own logic, just like in the brain’s memory times and experiences co-exist without chronologically or logically explained course.

Rafaël Philippen’s photography represents people in their (sub-urban) landscape. Not only he handles order and the course of time but also rhythm and melody to tell a story. The vulnerability of the empty space is central to his work. He manages to evoke, within the boundaries of reality, an idyll or unmasking it.

Together they present work from their collaborative project and the book that was published as a result from the project: UPHO unidentified photographic object. The book (2016) contains written contributions from Frits Gierstberg (Dutch Photo Museum), Luc de Vos (GORKI) and Leon Verdonschot.
