With a career spanning decades, Derksen has built up an impressive body of work. His ability to capture the essence of the moment, combined with his view of the world, resulted in an extraordinary portfolio.
His book Kairos marks an important milestone in that oeuvre. It is a collection of 88 carefully selected black-and-white photographs from work shot on medium-format film from 1997 to 2006. The images were taken in a variety of locations, including China, India, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Egypt, Romania, Thailand, Syria and Russia. This never-before-published collection represents not only an artistic choice, but also an important moment for Derksen: it is the last series of black-and-white photographs he took in the analogue era before his switch to digital colour photography.
His exploration of the possibilities of digital photography resulted in his first publication in colour, Disneyfication. That book, voted one of the 10 best Dutch photo books by De Volkskrant in 1999, marked a new phase in his photographic approach.

De Sint-Andrieskapel, ook Andrieskapel, is een voormalige kloosterkapel in de Nederlandse stad Maastricht. De gotische kapel uit circa 1435 was onderdeel van het in 1796 opgeheven Sint-Andriesklooster, een klooster voor vrouwelijke religieuzen. Vanaf circa 1950 is de Sint-Andrieskapel niet langer in gebruik als kerk en vervult het gebouw andere functies. Sinds 1966 is de kapel een rijksmonument.

Sint-Andrieskapel, also Andrieskapel, is a former convent chapel in the Dutch city of Maastricht. The Gothic chapel from around 1435 was part of the Sint-Andriesklooster, a convent for women religious, which was dissolved in 1796. Since about 1950, the St. Andrew's Chapel is no longer used as a church and the building fulfills other functions. Since 1966, the chapel has been a national monument.
