Family Tree / Ringel Goslinga
17 x 24 cm, 256 pp., re-published by Fw: in 2009
The subject of this book is intriguing. Contrary to what you might expect, it does not trace Goslinga’s family tree. Instead, it gives us 108 photographs of people who have been important to him. Some have to do with a particular period in his life or with his divorced parents, others he regards as important for his person, for Ringel Goslinga as he now is. This interpersonal approach gives the images something impalpable, something poetic. The book derives its strength from the photos and the way they have been put together. Designed together with Roger Willems and the artist. Awarded in Best Dutch Book Design 2007.
