A series of portraits of Michael Matthews, an HIV-positive poet and performer who saw the photographic sessions as his last performance before his death. Sombre images of dry, dark, cracked skin and the pure lines of a delicate bone structure, capturing the light falling on the ultimate beauty of a changing human body, from which Koos Breukel made an artwork in its own right, with the little book composed by Willem van Zoetendaal as its delicate yet powerful punctuation. The strong lines of force prefigure Breukel's later work.
