I Went on a Holiday to the Country You Fled From

Foam Editions is hosting the book launch of the photo book I Went on a Holiday to the Country You Fled From by Dutch photographer Iris Haverkamp Begemann. During this event, there will be a small presentation of the photo series in the gallery while Haverkamp Begemann will talk about the development of the project, together with several special guests.

About the publication

I Went on a Holiday to the Country You Fled From explores identity and privilege. Guided by memories and hand-printed maps by Mexican trans writer and activist Alejandra Ortiz, the artist went on a holiday to Mexico, the country Ortiz fled from. The photography series weaves together experiences of belonging and rejection to create an intimate portrait of identity and the complex ways that it dictates personal freedom.

This series was previously exhibited at Melkweg Expo (July 2022), WePresent at Tottenham Court, London (November 2022) and it was awarded the Dutch Photography Award '23 (SO 23).
