Elina Birkehag: D for Daughter

by Elina Birkehag (Photographer), Laslo Strong (Editor), Amelia Groom (Text by), Matilda Kenttä (Text by), Quinn Latimer (Text by)

Overview

Deep in the Swedish woods, messages and marks from long ago

Swedish artist Elina Birkehag (born 1989) searched for trees with messages inscribed on their trunks by female shepherds from the 17th to early 20th centuries, and then photographed these “living archives.” Her book connects us with the shepherds and enables us to “read” the trees.

Editorial Reviews

As an artist’s book, D for Daughter is also an admirable example of how the photobook can be used as a creative form to tell lesser known stories and to explore the possibilities of presenting messages through new mediums.
