Ghost Writer / Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind…
Barbara Bloom
Published by Passagen Verlag, Vienna, 1994, 224 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 15.5 × 23.5 cm, English/German
Price: €29

This book can be read from the front or the back, one direction in English, and the other in German, where one encounters texts by various authors on topics such as the art of forgery, the fiction of photography as a medium of reality, the detective as a seeker of truth, history and memory. In addition to the texts, the images are important as references to our visual culture. They come from, among others, Rodin, Duchamp, Bonnard, Vermeer, Godard, as well as from our everyday world, and are partly interwoven with texts, partly scattered throughout the book like vignettes.
