Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No DJ as issued. 144 pages. From 2002 through 2005, Bertien van Manen traveled all over Europe visiting families and documenting their personal photographs, some selected from albums or hanging on walls, and others stashed in less obvious places around their lives. She col lected traces of war and suppression and of happiness and sadness , encompassing a century of history in these recorded--and here r e-recorded--meetings of human eyes, minds and hearts. Beyond its very basic appeal, the project seems to reassess van Manen's earl ier work--a career of more direct photojournalism including A Hun dred Summers, a Hundred Winters, on the people of the former Sovi et Union, and East Wind West Wind on the people China--and to mem orialize the paper print itself, in light of pervasive new digita l cameras and photo-enabled cell phones that make her work all th e more rare.
