| Summary: |
In their use of home movies, collages of photographs and live footage, moving image artists explore the wish to see dead loved ones living. This study closely explores emotions and sensations surrounding mortality and longing, with new readings of works by Agnes Varda, Pedro Almodovar, Ingmar Bergman, Sophie Calle, and many others. 'Emma Wilson has made an incisive contribution in the fast-growing field of studies of the image and mortality. Sensitive, thoughtful and finely written, this is a compelling and moving account of our relationship to death through photography and film.' - Chris Townsend, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. |
