Ladies behind Crystal Veil Rob van Dijk

After an employment of nearly 35 years, Rob van Dijk will retire from the University of Twente. For this occasion we’ll reshow his series Ladies behind Crystal Veil. This time as a beamer presentation.

Ladies behind Crystal Veil is a weblog with thousands of portraits of women, who have been photographed by Rob van Dijk with glasses from his extensive historical collection.

Besides his work at the UT Rob made as singer-songwriter made CD Crystal Veil (2007): the title song being a tribute to women wearing glasses. This exhibition is the visual equivalent of that song.

The project Ladies behind Crystal Veil is still running, nowadays mainly with freelance models and becoming a more international project.
