Book presentation by Floor Martens

From the winter of 2018 to the early spring of 2025, Floor Martens worked steadily on a visual exploration that now comes together in Verstrengeld (Entangled). This book unfolds as a quiet yet powerful visual chronicle of the seasons, where time does not move linearly, but circles and returns.

The photographs in Verstrengeld are infused with attentiveness: to a twisting branch, a fold in the skin, a field full of tangles. What is revealed is more than mere form—it is the elusive, that which resonates without a name. Martens captures moments in which the inner self is mirrored in the outer world, offering an ode to the subtle layers of emotional life.

Verstrengeld is not a book to flip through quickly, but one to slowly disappear into. A still journey through time, texture, and connection.
