Where love, intimacy, death and grief dominate the emotional world, a camera usually has little place. Unless, like Kate Sterlin, you have perfected the sensitive documentary view over decades. In her first book “Still Life”, she uses photographs and texts to show not only how complex love is, but also that it plays a central role in family and friendship, beyond romance.
Still Life: Photographs & Love Stories
For decades, Kate Sterlin has been capturing what is invisible to many: love, family and all the emotions associated with them – including grief and loss. In her first book “Still Life”, the intimate photographs are complemented by poetic and lyrical texts. Exclusively in black and white, she not only explores complex feelings, but also raises questions about identity and belonging.
