Earlier this week I stumbled onto Lost In Publications, which provided a good overview of her work and books through quotes, video and a edit of pictures. But, I was really blown away by Sassen's drawings! Its not uncommon, I would imagine, to find photographers drawing out scenarios, but these are just splendid.
I love the photograph, but if I owned both and my house was on fire, I might grab the drawing. I didn't realize these drawings were such an intigral part to her work - both in idea and form. You can see more sketches at her website.

I don't know who is behind this site, but Lost In Publications just went to the top of my reading list. Also see Rob Hornstra, Rinko Kawauchi, and Vanessa Winship.

Oh wow, thanks so much for sharing this Ben. I am dumbfounded everytime I go through her work, it is so incredible. I have her last book, Parasomnia, and it is worth every penny.
Hey Alexi, I will somehow get my hands on Parasomnia for sure.
I find it really interesting how much her drawings change the work for me, and make is more accessible in a way.
Yeah, I totally agree. I like how some of her sketches come directly from dreams she's had, it shows how attuned she is to her subconscious.
Hi Ben,
thanks for sharing my site.
I'm very glad you liked it. I can't agree more with your post about Viviane Sassen.
All the best,
Sören
