Borders of Love

Meer over het boek

The book "Borders of Love" is a photographic and literary work by internationally recognized Czech photographer Dita Pepe, exploring the boundaries of love, trauma as a motivation for creation, and photography as therapy across thirteen chapters. Dita combines an artistic approach with scientific research, collaborating with various intriguing scientific and artistic personalities, as well as individuals who analyze the topic from personal perspectives and experiences. The book features dozens of texts in various forms, including interviews, reports, personal diaries, letters, short stories, essays, lecture excerpts, and scholarly texts, through which Dita, in collaboration with invited personalities, examines different aspects of love. This is interspersed with her photographic work—self-portraits, archival family photographs, stylized portraits, photo collages, documentary photography, still lifes. The photographic section of the book is characterized by an obsessive exploration and repetition of the same formal and thematic motifs to reinforce a sense of order and certainty that the author wishes to have in her life.
