My Name Is Sander Dekker Nº 1.5, art photo book

Released December 2016 · 144 pages · 21×26cm · Hardcover · Offset printing · ISBN 9789082111323 A woman from Sudan who survived war and found freedom through modelling. A man in Brooklyn whose entire life — Andy Warhol, the Village People, a husband now gone — lives on in a single family portrait. A woman halfway through her transition, exploring her true identity for the first time in a New York apartment. A stranger online, a message, a plane ticket, a knock on the door. Between 2011 and 2016, Dekker contacted strangers through social media and asked to photograph them in their own homes. No preparation, no research, no plan. He got on a plane, worked with whatever and whoever he found, and captured something that no longer quite exists: a moment when social media made contact between strangers feel easy, natural and full of possibility. 144 pages of strangers. And the surprising intimacy that comes from seeking them out.
