Synopsis
How should we look at these pictures of photographer Gert Jochems? With lust or disgust? With dismay or emotion? With nostalgia or yearning? S is a major series of photographs, taken by Belgian photographer Gert Jochems. They look at the 'regular' lives of 'regular' Belgian people, all of whom lead unconventional lives in private. In these photos, Jochems is an invisible observer in private sitting rooms, bedrooms and basements.

From the Back Cover
Fotograaf Gert Jochems heeft de laatste drie jaar intensief gewerkt aan een reeks beelden over seksualiteit in Vlaanderen. Zijn vorige projecten (onder meer RUS) werden erg goed onthaald.
Met een bijdrage door auteur David Van Reybrouck.
"Hoe kijken naar deze beelden? Met wellust of met walging? Met wanhoop of ontroering? Met heimwee of met hunkering? Alles kan. Maar misschien nog het meest met die zeldzame, archaļsche en in tijden van hyperconsumptie nagenoeg vergeten grote emotie: met dankbaarheid. Fotograaf Gert Jochems heeft het onmogelijke mogelijk gemaakt. In tijden van pornoficatie en overbelichting van het volmaakte lijf heeft hij seks weer duister, geheimzinnig, koortsig, troebel, vettig en verwarrend gemaakt. Dat is een geschenk voor het leven."
David Van Reybrouck
