Tessie is a photobook inspired by the personal stories of a woman who was 102 years old. Page by page, portrait by portrait, one is drawn into a biographical collage that spans more than a century. It is a photographic narrative accompanied by textual fragments. Tessie is here both the storyteller and the embodiment of all the places, objects and people she tells about. The book is 165 pages of carefully constructed sequences of original and found imagery; delicate portraits dialogue with composites from old family albums. It all unfolds from close-ups of jewellery that have been passed down within the family. Throughout the book, a bilingual text runs parallel to the visuals.
