The #MYOWNGENDER book collects the stories and images that were gathered during the project in a luxurious design by Jord Noorbeek – for them to be retold beyond the limits of an exhibition. As collodion wet plating is known for its unparalleled depth and sheen, Sevilay Maria faced a great challenge when adapting her work to print for the #MYOWNGENDER book. At her request, the people of Rob Stolk created a new method to capture the soul of collodion photography on paper. By using three layers of silver ink and one layer of blue ink, the glimmer of a wet plate can be mirrored, while layering the ink through offset printing creates the contrasting highlights found in the portraits.
