Brigitte Lustenberger | An Apparition of Memory

In this captivating book, Brigitte Lustenberger explores the themes of time's passage, memory, and life's fragility. Using dried flowers pressed between glass slides for photographic negatives, she skillfully transforms these delicate compositions into mesmerizing photographs.

Embracing the exquisite beauty found in decay, Lustenberger invites us into a mesmerizing realm of faded blooms. Her images meticulously capture the intricate details of nature's ingenious creations. The artist adeptly merges the ephemeral nature of a light-drawn sketch with the permanence of a photograph.

Featuring four insightful essays by esteemed curators Chiara Agradi, Nathalie Herschdorfer, Yuri Mitsuda, and Danaé Panchaud, the book delves into Lustenberger's process-oriented approach, the seamless integration of analog and digital technologies in her practice, and situates "An Apparition of Memory" within the broader context of Western and Japanese photographic and art history.
