Susanne Kriesmann, Ashes And Broken Brickworks Of A Logical Theory, 2010

This book can be read as an inventory of the trajectory that Kriemann pursued in relation to archaeology, to the artefact, to the image of the individual at work and the idea of the desert as a symbol of the modern desire to create an empty slate, a tabula rasa. Material from Agatha Christie’s photographic archives is related to photographs that Kriemann produced of the Syrian Desert and archaeological sites in Mesopotamia.
