Book Reviews of What Remains
Book Review: Is there life after life?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an important book by an important photographer. The subject is death and the subject is approached and confronted with candor and tenderness. The photographs were made using a wet plate process that is fraught with technical imperfections. But technical perfection is not the goal. The goal is emotional and the goal is achieved brilliantly.
From the bones of a beloved greyhound to decomposing human corpses at a forensic "body farm" to battlefield landscapes, the photographs confront death with staggering beauty. The final chapter, consisting of close-ups of the faces of her family, is a fitting summation of what remains that really matters.
