Publisher Note
In ‘Love Shit’ Verena Blok, both with documentary photography and texts, constructs a series of intimate portraits of pregnant individuals. Photographed over a period of two years, these portraits are combined with stories gathered during her work at an abortion clinic in the Netherlands. The book explores the dilemmas surrounding procreation – (un)wanted pregnancy, motherhood, childhood – and ultimately strives to reveal the complexities of womanhood.
Love Shit moves between tenderness and unease in Blok’s emotionally ambivalent exploration of maternal identity, freedom of choice, and bodily autonomy.
Published on the occasion of the 2026 March/Max exhibition at FOAM
