Emotive, abstract, and empowering. Photographer Philippe Vogelenzang captured muse and body confidence icon Vivian Hoorn in the landscape of Ibiza, both primal in their raw beauty. Bordering on optical illusions, Vogelenzang's masterful compositions dazzle and seduce the eye with intricate light play and sculptural forms of her body. Nearly three years in the making, this stunning nude book captures Vivian unclothed and vulnerable, yet powerful at the same time.

ODE unfolds in three chapters, showcasing Vivian's transformation in parallel with the sun’s journey over a single day: ouverture, day and eclipse. From sunrise to sunset, set against the silver hues of an early morning, the intense orange at high noon and the deep blue of dusk. A most sensory, intimate journey. Complemented by a thought-provoking essay written by Charlie Ann Max, multidisciplinary artist and founder of Füde, this book merges dreamy visuals with notions of radical self-acceptance.

ODE stands as a love letter to the body in all its fluctuations: as it is, as it was and as it can be. An embrace of folds, wrinkles and textures, constantly shifting and growing—just like the person existing beneath. Against the backdrop of an enchanting Ibiza—an oasis for natural beauty—the boundaries between human form and environment blur.

Is it a mountain or the contour of a bust? The pattern of skin follicles or dry desert soil? Questions like these become less pressing with each page turn, as they reveal themselves to be reflections of the same essence. Culminating in a powerful, universal message: every physique houses a beautiful landscape that deserves to be seen in every possible sun.
