Marrigje de Maar
Dutch photographer Marrigje de Maar (1944) studied social sciences and politics in Rotterdam and graduated from Minerva Academy in Groningen in 2004 with her widely-acclaimed Mothersong series of interiors shot in Karelia (Russia). She has exhibited in solo and group shows in The Netherlands, Finland, Japan, USA and Australia. She also has numerous prizes to her name, including the Zilveren Camera (for foreign documentaries), PANL Awards and the New York Lucie Award for New Discovery 2004. De Maar's work is part of the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others.

Home Made
For the series, Home Made, De Maar travelled to China, Russia and Japan. She was especially curious about the choices people make in their lives during periods of transition, either in a historical or cultural sense. She captured their private spaces, fascinated by the intimacy revealed.
Private spaces create a safe environment, protected from the world outside. People use their personal space, consciously or unconsciously, to express something about themselves. In this way, these spaces can be seen as portraits. Self-portraits created with the help of our daily necessities, tactile memories and the embodiment of our dreams.

Tien private spaces
Foam Editions offers a selection of ten images from the Home Made series. Each is available in an exclusive limited edition of ten prints measuring 40cm x 50cm. Prices start at € 1,190.
