This gorgeous book of photography is out now, just launched! A visual exploration of the beauty, fragility, and transience of the human body. Douglas Burgdorff’s images create a visual harmony between the skeletal remains at Cripta dei Cappuccini in Rome and two living subjects. The models — youthful, luminous, and unmistakably present — stand in quiet counterpoint to the ancient, carefully arranged bones. Their faces hold expressions as calm and saint-like as the monks themselves, yet their vitality hums just beneath the surface.
You can get it here. I am so in love!
