Robin de Puy’s intriguing American encounter

Preview

Dutch photographer Robin de Puy presents her last series at The Bonnefantenmuseum, in Maastricht.

In 2015 portrait photographer Robin de Puy travelled across the United States on a motorcycle. During this trip an intimate self portrait emerged in text and image as well as portraits of people she met. In Ely, Nevada, she found Randy. He rode past fast but in the split second she saw him,  De Puy had to know who this boy was. She took his portrait, left the town a few days later, and that was it at least, that’s what it seemed at the time. Back in Amsterdam Randy popped into her mind from time to time, it was impossible to know this boy and only have that single image. She looked him up again several times in 2016 and 2017. At the Bonnefantenmuseum, in Maastricht, Robin de Puy is presenting this portrait of Randy in the form of an installation that comprises both photo and film.
