Viviane Sassen (born 1972) is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam. She is a photographer who works in both the fashion and fine art world. She is known for her use of geometric shapes, often abstractions of bodies.[1] She has been widely published and exhibited. She was included in the 2011 New Photography exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art.[2] She has created campaigns for Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, and Louis Vuitton, among others.[3] She has won the Dutch Prix de Rome (2007) [4] and the Infinity Award from International Center of Photography.[5]

Life and work[edit]

Sassen lived in Kenya as a child and often works in Africa.[6] She started studying fashion at Arnhem,[7] but soon turned to photography. She received her MFA from Royal Academy in Arnhem.[8]

She is of the generation of photographer/artists that alternate personal, editorial, and commercial work and embrace an interdisciplinary attitude.[9] She says, "You should always be able to judge a photograph on different grounds, on political, social, emotional, but also on personal grounds."[7]

She is known for her use of geometric shapes, often abstractions of bodies. The photographed bodies are often intertwined, inspired by daily physical contact with strangers she experienced in Africa.[1] Conscious of the stereotypical images of famine and poverty, she includes contemporary elements abundant in Africa like cell phones and automobiles.[10]

Sassen was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2015 for her exhibition Umbra at Nederlands Fotomuseum.[11]

For several advertising campaigns, Sassen worked with fashion label 3.1 Phillip Lim.[12] Commissioned by Italian luxury goods manufacturer Bottega Veneta, she photographed Mica Argañaraz and Sven de Vries at the Kröller-Müller Museum for the brand's spring/summer 2016 advertisements.[13] Working on other campaigns, she later photographed Langley Fox atVilla Noailles for Lancel (2016)[14] as well as Natalie Portman and Yara Shahidi for Dior (2022), among others.[15]
