Deep in the Swedish woods, messages and marks from long ago
Swedish artist Elina Birkehag (born 1989) searched for trees with messages inscribed on their trunks by female shepherds from the 17th to early 20th centuries, and then photographed these “living archives.” Her book connects us with the shepherds and enables us to “read” the trees.
PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Collector Daily
Olga Yatskevich
As an artist’s book, D for Daughter is also an admirable example of how the photobook can be used as a creative form to tell lesser known stories and to explore the possibilities of presenting messages through new mediums.
