'Since 2009, Wytske van Keulen continuously visited several individuals in France, The United States and Japan who, for different reasons, chose to set aside our strongly economized and de-spiritualized world. The absence of inhabitants in the depicted living environments of Stick Holding Branch make the significance of the photographs shift from a documentary-like basis to the realm of the image, freed from space and time. Accompanied by an extensive selection of correspondence and fragments of personal notes, Van Keulen's work shows an intimate portrait of a global community redeemed from society’s demanding expectations.'
