Editorial Reviews

Known for her numerous black and white series examining the living - and the dead - in its many forms, the American photographer Diana Michener recently published at Steidl not one but two monographic works. A simultaneous dive into two apparently antagonistic series, exploring on one side the intimacy of bodies and on the other the immensity of nature.

50 monochrome images, all rendered somehow equivalent by their scale (12.75 x 10 inches) and hypnotic attention to minute detail.
