As enigmatic as the work she produces, Viviane Sassen has an enviable ability to maintain her distinctive visual style, and also seamlessly take her work to new places. This is never more apparent than in her latest publication, Roxane II, in which the Dutch photographer, whose work effortlessly straddles art and fashion, continues to collaborate with her muse (whose name she gives to the book). There are similarities with the previous work (published in 2012, also by Oodee) – namely the wonderfully strange poses Roxane adopts – but in Roxane II Sassen goes further, exploring her relationship with the model in new ways.
