Living and working between Hengelo, Arnhem, and Paramaribo, Ricardo started making artist's books around the mid-eighties. Since 1991 his books are published under the imprint Ambassade van Bukistan. They contain subtle and poetic visual and textual observations on plant species and seeds, (family) relations, children’s games, mappings, language, and social behavior.
When in Suriname, Ricardo regularly updates his friends and colleagues in the Netherlands by sending them 'Notes from Suriname'. Over the past years, he has been presenting these notes at public reading sessions in the Netherlands, accompanied by audio and video materials, as well as homemade peanut soup.
The selection at the Van Abbe specifically highlights Ricardo's books on plantations in Suriname. The books presented at the library are available at the museum shop and at bukistan.nl.
