Over the last five years Sylvie Zijlmans has created photo works of an intimate world in which something unspeakable has taken place. Mysterious events that are certainly possible but highly improbable. Bacteria are spat back and forth across the table. Smoke rises from mugs, glasses and bottles. The people in these images have witnessed something terrifying.
