From Website Eduard Planting Gallery:
{Dutch Art Photographer Henriëtte van Gasteren,
using the artist name Lilith,
is a storyteller with a passion for photography.
Since 2006 her self-portraits have been telling her stories.
Her recurring themes have been women, identity,
female archetypes, gender bending and of course, life itself.
But above all freedom and equality.
Since 2005 Lilith creates humorous, ironic self-portraits
around her own home.
But now the time for change has come.
For her latest series of self-portraits home owners unknown
to her have offered their houses as sets.
Lilith, in both her life and her work, communicates with the things
discovered around her so in these new and strange sites the artistic
possibilities explode with often surprising results.}
