Etan & Me

Photographed by Vivienne Sassen, this book is a story of love and loss. Are we ever able to truly know someone, to truly know ourselves? In a remote village in the jungle of Suriname, she took portraits of this young man called Etan and combined them with blurred and scattered self-portraits, reflecting on the ancient myths of Narcissus and the Origin of Painting by Pliny the Elder.
