Failing Forward has been chosen among this year’s ten Best Dutch Photobooks by the newspaper de Volkskrant. Honoured to read Mark Moorman’s kind and insightful review and to be in the good company of a.o. Ton Grote, Jan Dirk van der Burg and Dana Lixenberg.
Mark Moorman in de Volkskrant -
‘Blom legt graag de mysteries die zich voor haar lens afspelen naast de mysteries van de kosmos, zoals ze door de NASA worden bestudeerd.
En ergens op die kruising vinden kunst, wetenschap en het leven, dat van de fotograaf en dat van alle aardbewoners, elkaar. Grote gebaren wellicht, maar als je maar vaak genoeg door het fraaie boek bladert, zie je het ook. Dat de raadsels van het universum zich overal om ons heen bevinden. En dat als je inzicht wilt bereiken, je toch moet beginnen met iets bouwen; of met het maken van een fotoboek’
From Wednesday 09.11.22 until Sunday 13.11.22 Polycopies will take place as part of Paris Photo. I will be in Paris these days, and I am looking forward to seeing you! There are two specific events that I would like to bring to your attention:
On Thursday 10 at 19.00H I will sign copies of Failing Forward in the booth of The Eriskay Connection.
And on Saturday 12 at 18.00H I will be in conversation with Oriane Thomasson, Marc Schroeder and moderator Crystal Bennes during the conference LES ARCHIVES / THE ARCHIVES #3.
Last summer I had the honour to speak to Annemieke Bosman in the radio program OPIUM on Dutch Radio 4 about Failing Forward. You can listen to this interview HERE
On Saturday, 17 September, at 17.00h, you will find me at the UNSEEN Amsterdam book market at The Eriskay Connection booth. I will be there to sign copies of Failing Forward. If you happen to be at UNSEEN, please let me know because I am looking forward to meet up!

Over the past months I have been working closely with editor Ellen Sanders and designer Dongyoung Lee to turn Failing Forward into a book. The book is almost there and will be published later this year with The Eriskay Connection.
To make this actually happen I have launched a crowdfund campaign to cover the costs of printing and binding the book.
Please help me to realise this book by pre-ordering your copy at VOORDEKUNST!
FAILING FORWARD - as the chosen winner of the open call - will be on show at Dieci X Dieci Photofestival in Gonzaga (IT).
Opening 17.09.21 | Torre Civica | Piazza Castello
This project has been made possible with the generous and kind support of the Dutch Mondriaan Fund.
