For Diana Michener, bones are treasures, and this book is her preservation of them through photography in a way that honors their value as vessels of lives past
Inspired by nineteenth century photography, along with Paul Strand and Irving Penn, Michener chose the appropriately delicate and precious medium of platinum prints, which she crafted in her darkroom from analogue film shot on a Hasselblad 500 C camera
Michener’s subjects are both human and animal bones, photographed between 2018 and 2021 in collections including Luxembourg’s Museum of Natural History, Strasbourg’s Zoological Museum and the Musée de Cambrai—often in restricted areas, thus revealing many bones not normally accessible to the public
