This is the catalogue of an exhibition at Huis Marseille, Foundation for Photography in Amsterdam. The exhibition marks the special collaboration between Huis Marseille and the collector Han Nefkens. Han Nefkens has been collecting contemporary art and placing it in the H+F Collection since 1999. One of the basic principles of this collection is that it is a ‘public’ collection. The photographs shown in Whisper Not! were acquired by the H+F Collection in close consultation with Huis Marseille, where they are on permanent loan as a 'promised gift'.
Whisper Not, the exhibition's title which has been taken from a melody of the same name by American saxophonist Benny Golson, is an appeal to allow the whispering image to speak to the imagination.
