Description

Sebaldiana: Memento mori is a photographic pilgrimage inspired by the work of W.G. Sebald. During a residency at the Museum of Corsica, Elina Brotherus followed the “Sebaldian” path through the forests and mountains of the island, seeking the places described in his unfinished posthumous texts. The book explores the relationship between text and image, history and memory, and the inevitable passage of time. Physically, the book reflects its somber theme through black-colored page edges and a classic design that mirrors the aesthetic of Sebald’s own publications. It includes texts by the artist and a dialogue between her and the curator leafing through the archive of memory.
