Mehr zum Buch

The book "Borders of Love" is a photographic and literary work by internationally acclaimed photographer Dita Pepe, exploring the boundaries of love, trauma as a motivation for creation, and photography as therapy across thirteen chapters. In this publication, which forms a creative part of her doctoral research, Dita combines artistic approaches with scientific inquiry. She collaborates with various intriguing scientific and artistic figures, as well as individuals who analyze the theme from personal perspectives and experiences. The book features dozens of texts in various forms, including interviews, reports, personal diaries, letters, short stories, essays, and excerpts from lectures, through which Dita, alongside invited contributors, examines different facets of love. These texts are interwoven with her photographic work—self-portraits, archival family photographs, stylized portraits, photo collages, documentary photography, and still lifes. The photographic section is characterized by an obsessive exploration and repetition of formal and thematic motifs to reinforce a sense of order and security that the author seeks in her life.
