Twenty-five years ago, photographer Viviane Sassen and artist Emmeline de Mooij collaborated on a series of photos. Now, they return to that creative dialogue to create Frau Holle: a book that traces female transformation across three life phases, interweaving the original images with new work. Through play, costume, and mythological inquiry, they explore motherhood, menopause, and desire as invisible forces. The work is a meditation on aging, creative power, and pleasure. And above all, a celebration of friendship and a collaborative exploration of how women reclaim visibility and joy through transformation, refusal of erasure, and unapologetic presence.
