Personal images
There was a long period between the photo documentary and the publication of the book, says Shiva Faber: ”After graduating I wanted to do more with the photo project, but Nina did not want to come out with these personal images yet. Fred Guurink, a good friend of Nina, thought she should do something with it. He interviewed her a few years ago, and I started selecting photos for a book.”
Own story
Apart from the introduction and the interview by Guurink, 'Nina's Notes' contains virtually no text. The book revolves around the images, interspersed here and there by short but penetrating fragments of medical and official documents. Faber: “The book needs no further text. It consists of photos, to which everyone can make their own story.”
