AS NAVY COLORED 1ST PRINT RUN!!
Background information
The intimate photo volume 'You can call me Nana' by US-american photographer Will HARRIS is a personal yet universal family memoir. The story introduces us to Will’s grandmother, Evelyn Beckett, who suffered from dementia in the later years of her life. As her memories eroded, history and fiction collided and a new relationship bloomed. Once her grandson, the photographer became an old friend, creating this work while trying to make sense of a newfound connection and to deal with his own grief. At times both haunting and lighthearted, this book weaves together family archives with altered images, collage, and new photographs including views inside the multi-generational family home in Pennsylvania. Along with some confused and touching conversations with Nana, Will HARRIS assembles the fragments that went missing from her mind." (© Overlapse, 2021)
