Artist Talk with Julian Slagman and Eva Maria Ocherbauer
In this book, German-Dutch photographer Julian Slagman presents work made over the past decade, photographing his two younger brothers, Mats and Jonah, growing up and creating a world of their own. From individual portraits to shared moments, the images offer a poignant exploration of childhood, growth, and the passage of time. The work deals with the vulnerability of the body and the brutality of the scars that Mats suffered after his scoliosis surgery. These physical reminders juxtapose with the resilience and strength embodied by both brothers as they navigate adolescence and brotherhood.
Through the book, Slagman delves into the vulnerable relationship between photography and time, inviting us to witness the tender moments of connection, and the world created growing up.
