Together with MAMA we proudly present This Naked Incident, a visual and textual exploration by Alexander van der Heide & Sander Coers into the place 'masculinity' has in the lives of young people today.
 
On 02|02|22 the window exhibition opened at the showroom of MAMA in Rotterdam to celebrate the launch of the publication. Photo's and quotes from the publication can be seen from the street. 
 
On Friday 4 February at 7pm, during the broadcast of Mixed Business on Radio Worm Alexander van der Heide and Sander Coers will talk to Florian Cramer about the realisation of the book and Isaï Reiziger will sit down with Nathalie Hartjes to look back on his participation in the project. Raoul de Jong will read his upcoming column for the NRC magazine, in which he also explores the limits of expression for boys and men.

After finishing his bachelor in Art & Design, Alexander van der Heide(1998) continued to work as agency curator for VISIONARY Agency in Amsterdam, Whilst starting up his own practice as creative producer and makeup artist, specializing in fashion photography. He has thus far worked with and for a.o. Mirror Mirror Magazine, De Bijenkorf, G-star, de Volkskrant Magazine, and Vogue China. Sander Coers is a photographer based in Rotterdam whose work revolves around heritage, identity and memories. The influence of nature is strong, evoked by nostalgic echoes of sultry summer days from his youth in Zeeland. While creating colourful and seductive stills through both documentary and staged photography he crafts moody, romantic and dreamlike realities, in which he reflects on the stories of his subjects as well as his own. Sander is the recipient of the RM Photo Talent Award of 2021.
