This project is about erasure; memory, forgetting, data, archives, etcetera. The book 'Nostalgia' contains 300 image descriptions of deleted photographs taken on various digital ca meras since the early 2000s and stored on computers, hard drives, and memory cards. Their diverse subjects range from personal moments, to visual note-taking as a mnemonic device, to photos used in artworks. This artists’ book questions tendencies to produce new images and instead moves in the opposite direction by deleting them and creating texts that produce images in the readers mind. 304 p, ills bw, 17 x 23 cm, Edition Taube (Munich) Show more
