All photographs were taken by Jan Kempenaers in 2010 during a road trip through the southern part of the United States, from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Jan Kempenaers is affiliated to KASK/School of Arts Ghent. This series is part of Kempenaers' artistic research project.

During the 1960s and 70s, thousands of monuments commemorating the Second World War called 'Spomeniks' were built throughout the former Yugoslavia; striking monumental sculptures, with an angular geometry echoing the shapes of flowers, crystals, and macro-views of viruses or DNA. In the 1980s the Spomeniks still attracted millions of visitors from the Eastern bloc; today they are largely neglected and unknown, their symbolism lost and unwanted.

This 'paired volume', beautifully designed by Elliott Bryce Foulkes, features Cherine Fahd's photographic studies, 'Shadowing Portraits' (2014-2016) and 'You Look Like a...' (2016-2017).

A 'Portrait is a Puzzle' is in itself an artwork: a pairing of two photographic series that invites the reader to turn the book over and around, to reach two endings in the middle and to interrogate the function of a portrait and the people it depicts as an infinite and unsolvable puzzle.

"From throwing liquid bronze to whistling for three days straight, the TarraWarra Biennial 2018: 'From Will to Form' considers how the wild, intangible forces that animate behaviour might be present within an artwork"--Publlisher's website.
