Taco Hidde Bakker
“Ken Schles: Image and text are two ways to probe existence. They operate differently and inform each other in rich and profound ways, but the two never meet except in a kind of long-distance dialogue. It’s a dance I’m entranced with, but I can’t say I understand it.”
Taco Hidde Bakker, The Photograph That Took the Place of a Mountain
