A surrealist world, located in the area of tension between photography, drawing and painting. A world inhabited by graceful, dreamlike and audacious creatures. This is the world of Schilte & Portielje.

The figures who play the lead role in the duo's photographic works are characterised by the mystery that surrounds them; a sort of intangibility, impenetrability.
