I was eleven


Sexual abuse often starts with small gestures and evolves into a shared world that remains unspeakable for many.

This booklet originated as part of my graduation project and was printed in a limited edition. The core idea behind its creation was to make something enduring; something that would outlive the temporary nature of an exhibition. The booklet serves as a physical reminder of the project’s themes and intentions, allowing the viewer to return to it, hold it, and reflect on it at their own pace. It’s a way of preserving both the content and the emotional resonance of the work beyond the moment of display.

A limited amount of copies is still available, send an email to order at info@ankievankasteren.com
