Some(w)here is a book about a journey in the most concrete and abstract sense of the word. The images were made over a 10 year period and traverse as many countries - Norway, Tajikistan, Mexico, China, Namibia - interwoven to guide the reader through a collage of vivid, yet intangible moments. Delicately designed by the Dutch designer Sybren Kuiper, Some(w)here meanders through this language of place to evoke the perceptual, emotional experience of memory and dream.
Through a series of seemingly unrelated pictures, the viewer begins to understand that a journey has taken place, and that behind the images there are lessons, mistakes, an understanding of the world whose attainment has not been swift or easy.

Each reading leads to a new place, and is performed with eyes wide open, staring at these photographs filled with various and occasionally conflicting feelings. They exude a serenity that the texture of the paper only makes more gentle, engaging multiple senses.

This is a book about place - but how do you define place when there are no specific boundaries? The book becomes the place. Somewhere / Here... This journey follows a disembodied path, but arrives in fullness.
George Slade / writer/curator
Andres Gonzalez has been able to create, in a series of photographs, a world we only know from our dreams. Impressions, memories, images from the back of our head, once seen out of the corner of an eye, are captured by the photographer in a surprising and moving way. In the clever design of Sybren Kuiper, one picture following the other, together, in a subtle flow, the images form a booklet of visual poetry.
Bertien van Manen / photographer
Andres Gonzalez has crafted a dreamy little book of his travels to places unknown. Working with designer Sybrien Kuiper, they have utilized materials and sequencing to create passages that gently pull the viewer in and out of a semi-conscious other-place, other-where.
