P (N⎜N), 2025.
P (N⎜N) is a black-and-white photographic sequence, combining and confronting images that I took in 2024 at opposite sides of this planet: Nieuwpoort, Belgium; and Nagasaki, Japan. The title of this artwork references the mathematical formula for calculating conditional probability, P (A⎜B).
It exists in two versions. First, there is a luxe portfolio of 6 sheets, printed in offset black with recycled inks on Symbol Tatami White paper 170 gr. Each print measures 27 x 40,5 cm. They are bundled in a black folder in Reef black paper 330 gr, with a magnesium foil stamp. Open folder: 56 x 53,5 cm. Closed folder: 28 x 41,5 cm. With a signed certificate of authenticity. Edition of 10, 2 a.p. Available for purchase through De Blinkerd Editions.
The alternative version is a brochure of 8 folded loose sheets, printed on both sides recto/verso in black with recycled inks on Nautilus classic 90 gr recycled paper. Closed format: 20,25 x 27 cm; opened: 40,5 x 27 cm. It is distributed for free to visitors whenever the portfolio version of P (N⎜N)is exhibited.
