Blauwhuis

BOOK · CP042 · 2023

"Blauwhuis" is the debut photo book by Dutch street photographer Bouwe Brouwer.

Using 69 black-and-white photographs, Bouwe takes you through the hussle and the bustle at the race track in the Frisian village of Blauwhuis. The book takes you from the audience through the tinkering of the cars to the final race itself.

The book is hand bound in our own studio in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. We chose an open spine binding that we eventually smeared with the mud from the race track itself.

In addition, an accompanying text was written by Blake Andrews.

Bouwe Brouwer has a diverse range of talents and interests and is currently living in Sneek, the Netherlands. He studied fine arts and was trained as an illustrator.
