The complete set of 38 posters is held unfolded in an engraved opal acrylic slipcase, whose translucent surface partly obscures the images while keeping them visible. The loose sheets can be removed, handled and viewed individually, while the slipcase acts as both container and display, allowing the work to be reconfigured and its presentation to change.

DRESSED
To dress is to change, to combine, to alter and finish in a way that brings about a transformation. It’s about making something feel more yours, more alive, more visible and through care and attention giving it more meaning. Whether that be dressing a dinner table or a storefront window display, dressing for a formal occasion or dressing a salad, it’s the touch that unites, refines, and completes, elevating the ordinary. Though one of the most familiar human rituals, dressing has the potential of an emotional alchemy that brings out endless possibilities for change and transformation, giving a touch of that potential to the everyday acts that shape our lives.
DRESSED by Janneke van der Hagen, styled and modelled by Monika Tatalovic, comprises a selection of diagonally folded posters and a silk scarf, housed in a bespoke box, accompanied by a narrative written by Saskia de Brauw and graphic design by Linnea Mesko.

Villa Matadi, Saltsjöbaden was a meeting place for the local artists colony in the late 1930s as well as being the house and studio of Swedish Sculptor Nils Sjögren b.1894 and whose sculptures inhabit the house and grounds of his former home.
Moving into the converted former ballroom at Villa Matadi, Janneke van der Hagen got the chance to live amongst many of Sjögren’s sculptures; existing mostly as fragments or broken pieces of works which she was free to touch, move and manipulate. With a practice centred around the sculptural and sensual depiction of the human body Janneke van der Hagen makes pictures that appear both monumental and intimate. This dualism was something she found immediately and inspiringly present in the fragmented forms of the sculptures around her, often appearing more tender, human but also iconic than the finished work when seen in its totality.
Interspersed throughout the book are tight crops of pole dancing, still life images and portraits that explore a heightened state of observation, a searching for angles that render the subject both personal and monumental. Mirrored pages invite the viewer as an active participant in this game of seeing and revealing in a project that proposes seeing-as-being-present; catalysed by sculptures made over a century ago.
The first 100 copies sold include two A2 posters.
* The book is also sold in the bookshops of FOAM and Huis van Marseille, photography museums in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
