I remember everything

This project combines memories, dreams and wishes, bringing to life that feeling of longing and truthfulness that comes with first loves — like an endless moment suspended in time. The work questions how much of what we remember is real, and how much is a projection of what might have been. Thus, do they look like memories or are they memories? There are photos mixed with hand written words, pieces of paper, flowers. All immaterial, lik

All the Whisperings of the World

All the Whisperings of the world examens the visual connections between nature´s vulnerability and the effects of an allergic shock to the body. The artist takes us on a journey to the rainforest areas in South America- the locus of this process is the Brazil nut. The book weaves images via microscope and scientific research with Svendsen´s classic black and white photographs, revealing the human body within an ecosystem of complex interdependency.

Perhaps no other region in the United States comes with such a strong set of preconceived notions. So yes: you’ll see ten-gallon hats, a wayward confederate flag. Even a baptism in a watering trough. But the rea

Knit Club

A foreboding meditation in the vein of Southern Gothic literature, Drake’s most recent body of work emerged through her collaboration with an enigmatic group of women loosely calling themselves Knit Club. The nature of the club is ambiguous. It is a cross between a gang, a cult of mysteries, and a group of friends bound by secrets only they share. The book follows a narrative structure loosely borrowed from Faulkner’s As I Lay
