Dianne Longley - Title of Book: Remember to Die, Remember to Live
Medium: 17 pages, concertina artist book made with inkjet prints on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188gsm paper
Size: book closed 21 x 21 x 1.5cm, book open 21 x 378cm

Brief Description: An image of Gloria Swanson, photographed in 1924 through a veil of lace by American photographer Edward Steichen, was the starting point for the self-portrait works in Remember to Die, Remember to Live. I wanted to explore personal realities revealed via universal human experiences such as the unfolding of individuality, our links with past and future generations, and meditations on death and nothingness.
