Do Not Disturb by Katya de Grunwald

£20.00

Katya de Grunwald’s new photographic book reveals a powerful, emotional narrative; an affecting, personal history of loss and betrayal. It tells how an act of small physicality would take on enormous significance, becoming a formative and lasting influence. The images of interiors and familiar everyday objects have been made throughout the artist’s life. They comprise arresting formal still life studies: snapshots of jugs in windows; and partially obscured views through windows interspersed with a brooding and deliberately simple, succinct text.

The interplay between images and words allows a disconcerting, poignant story to unravel gradually as the context of the ‘act of small physicality’ is eventually revealed. There is a simplicity about this book that belies the nuanced and elegant portrayal of a complex moment in one family’s history.
