‘Because of [Van Manen's] deep involvement and the time her projects take, her series can be seen as visual diaries ... This book, compiled by designer Hans Gremmen, is a new tribute to Van Manen's work‘ FOCUS

‘[Van Manen's] images look raw and incredibly modern, the people captured within them unaware, skewiff, unposed and playful ... we are left with a very particular take on personal and the poetic.‘ AnOther

‘Using a simple snapshot camera, [Van Manen] portrays the wild calm of the landscape and the brutal intimacy of the lives and deaths of its dwellers.‘ The Independent

‘With prints of contact sheets, wonderful anecdotes about her experiences, a beautiful biography by former curator Hripsimé Visser ... Archive is the definitive book about the unparalleled adventure spanning fifty years that Van Manen has made of her photographic career‘ de Volksrant
