Prompted by the imminent demolition of the original farmhouse, she went back to photograph it and document the changing nature of the farm.Many farms have become unprofitable within the changing economies of Europe and, more specifically, the way in which land use has been reconstituted in the Netherlands. What has happened to the house symbolises many of the wider processes that are happening to farming families in the area. Farm won the Andrew Sproxton Award, the Association of Photographers Awards ( silver awards - personal project ) and has been exhibited at Naarden Fotofestival, the Netherlands and Les Rencontres d'Arles. The book "Farm" is available at bookshops and www.schaden.comLOST ISLAND Tiengemeten is a small island small island situated in the south of the Netherlands.

Large numbers of Egyptians have moved to the area to work in tourism while at the same time development has robbed native bedouin of their grazing lands and fishing grounds. Bedouin have lived in Dahab for over 800 years . Government policies and a desire for improved standards of living led most bedouin to become settled citizens rather than stateless nomadic herders. They often lead semi nomadic lives living half the year in houses in Dahab and the oher half living in tents in the desert.Number of Captions: 104 National Portrait Gallery- Taylor Wessing awards-2008.
