Since 2010, wherever Dutch model Saskia de Brauw jets off to for work —  e.g. Chanel, Fendi, Givenchy, Prada — she’s never without an unusual companion, her document scanner. The Fine Arts graduate (Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam) is captivated by the strange shapes and textures of the found objects she encounters. To her, a popped balloon, corroded CD, dirty candy wrapper, or wad of bird feathers are not trash, but the makings of art that she scans on the spot.

Now, de Brauw — who keeps to a no-selfie policy — has released a self-published book, The Accidental Fold, an artfully arranged compilation of her scans-on-the-go, as well as observations and notes that personalize each image, revealing the poetic texture of her life.
