The bed as a prominent place
The images in A Book of Beds have been selected from the numerous portfolios which were sent to the editors of Foam Magazine in 2009 and 2010 in response to the 'Talent Call'. Each year Foam Magazine invites young photographers to submit work for the annual talent issue. It was striking that many photographers had chosen the bed as the subject of their work. It was thus decided to compile these photos in a book. The multitude of beds allows the viewer to reflect upon the prominent role this spot has in our lives. 'The bed is the place where we sleep, where we make love, where most of us are born and where most of us will die', stated Marcel Feil, editor of the magazine. 'In a certain sense, the bed is a metaphor for life.'

A Book of Beds is also a first step in expanding Foam Magazine's talent issue into a broader platform for photographic talent.
