Synopsis

What was once, still is, and will forever remain is Jessica Backhaus's infallible instinct for pictorial composition, a deftness she continues to take to new heights. Her views of ostensibly prosaic scenes open up to us a cosmos of unforeseen meanings while evoking a mood of affectionate familiarity.

Backhaus is regarded as one of the most distinguished voices in contemporary photography today. Her work is exhibited internationally and is found in important collections.

This new edition of her successful publication Once, Still and Forever (2013) is limited to one thousand signed copies, clad in iridescent linen with embossing and tipped-in title shield.
