“Dutch husband-and-wife duo Sylvie Zijlmans and Hewald Jongenelis spent nearly four years on Ten to One, a large-scale photograph on view now at Rotterdam’s Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Shooting 4×5 negatives, the couple took a photograph each afternoon for ten days of a meticulously art-directed celebration held in a field in the Dutch countryside just outside Amsterdam. They combined the ten photographs to create a final image that gives the illusion of a sprawling afternoon affair.”
See this feature on Sight Unseen about the 4-year making of the photo, from the lego model maquettes to the 100 Chinese tailors creating 100 custom outfits.
