“Her staged, cinematic scenes of carefully wrapped objects – one in bubble wrap, the other in black tissue paper – are tantalising portrayals of the cautious policy on diplomatic gifts. By photographing objects in this exciting, mysterious way, Schols manages to temper the aroused curiosity of the viewer: wrapped and illuminated in this way, the ‘gifts’ are reminiscent of intriguing sculptures, and their content no longer matters.” - Jury Steenbergen Stipendium
