Background information
"The photo volume 'What was once, still is, and will forever remain' by Jessica BACKHAUS shows her 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.
She 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."

Book review
"Returning to her homeland Germany after spending twenty-two years away was full of mixed emotions, anticipation and uncertainty. In 'Once, Still & Forever', Jessica BACKHAUS exposes the sorrows and joys of human experience through her own. By her side we discover that finding answers takes time, and that hardship can be one of life’s greatest gifts." (© Shane LAVALETTE, in: 'Once, still and forever', March 29, 2013)
