…TO PUBLISH OUR FIRST EVERY PHOTOBOOK FEATURING WORK FROM OVER 10 YEARS

Each project feels like giving birth to something new, starting with a single idea that refuses to be forgotten, crawling into an artist’s mind, patiently waiting for that one moment to take the chance to become a reality for the world to see.

The artist duo Sallyhateswing describes this mental process as a dance with reality, and they seem to have danced quite a bit in more than ten years of teamwork. Archives I offers a glimpse into their artistic and personal photographic journey, both across the globe and throughout the years.

Sallyhateswing is a collaboration between Sarah and Philipp Johann, an art director and a photographer working in the international fashion and advertising industry. Their clear structure and strong color palette create unseen visual experiences.

Presenting the world with their artistic archive is akin to offering a piece of their souls. That’s what Archives I is all about: a warm invitation, an open door to real and surreal worlds you wouldn’t normally encounter. From the shores of wide oceans, the vibrant streets of metropolises to the intimate space of a studio atelier, this book will take you places and encourage you to embrace the slightly weird.

The driving force behind Sallyhateswing’s work is their love for the perfect imperfections of human beings. They capture the essence of fleeting moments and create conceptually and meticulously crafted scenes, resulting in visuals that reveal a version of existence that has been hidden before.
