Rekonvaleszenz is a photobook project dealing with the phases of seperation that most people go through when a loved one breaks up with them. In a combination of still-life photographs and subjective snapshots, I give emotions a face by visualizing my own personal memories. The process of seperation and emotional transformation is illustrated by the use of light, colors and abstractions. The book is divided into four chapters; each chapter starts with texts by Bonny-Lycen Henze. There is a online video by Luisa Hanika in which the whole book can be viewed.
