"In her detailed research with her camera, the photograph artist Ellen Korth has detected in the buildings of Herman Bessels traces of the relationship, capturing them in excerpts that nevertheless represent the whole. This book bears no claim to documentary or biography, but makes a theme of the interplay of two closely-interwoven art forms.
It is largely the outer shells of the buildings, which mirror the striving for function, form and shape. And likewise, these are the intentions of the artist, who desires a view behind the façade of human appearance in her photographs."
