Unrecounted

"Unrecounted" is a book of poems and images from one of the most admired European writers, W.G.Sebald, and his friend and collaborator, the German artist Jan Peter Tripp. For a number of years until Sebald"s death in 2001, the two exchanged poems and lithographs. Unrecounted is the startlingly original result of this long artistic friendship - a creative dialogue inspired by shared concerns. Tripp"s lithographs, which portray pairs of eyes - among them those of Beckett, Borges, Proust - combine with W.G.Sebald"s words in "Unrecounted" to speak of moments salvaged from time passing, of our eyes bearing witness, and of memory and remembrance.
