1989–1997 gathers Bill Jacobson’s early photographs into a sustained exploration of desire, loss, and remembrance. Blurred portraits and other elusive forms suggest the way images are held in the mind, altered by time, and gradually released. A story by Klaus Kertess accompanies the photographs, creating a dialogue between visual and literary approaches to memory. This first monograph offers an introduction to the distinctive photographic language that established Jacobson’s work and continues to inform his investigations of perception and human presence.
