A dreamlike exploration of intimacies and memory rendered in powerful photographs and lyrical texts, featuring an interview by Arooj Aftab and an afterword by Tessa Thompson.“A sublime, aching collection of images.” — Chan Marshall (Cat Power)For decades, photographer Kate Sterlin has made an artistic practice of examining the boundaries between individual, family, and community. In her first book, Still Life: Photographs & Love Stories, she delivers a meditation on love and its ability to weather the brutal specificities of life, death, family and race in America. Pairing intimate photographs with poetic, lyrical writings, Still Life is a hypnagogic narrative that unfolds in a series of overlapping episodes and identities, a testament to one artist's commitment to creation and a dreamlike blend of the personal and the universal.

"From the joys of family (in all its complexity), and romance to the sorrows of loss and tragedy, Still Life offers a profound exploration of Black identity and the complexities of the human experience. A testament to Sterlin’s unwavering artistic vision, this book is a poignant blend of the personal and the universal." - F Stop Magazine, 2024"Kate Sterlin's first book immediately establishes a singular new voice in the contemporary photographic landscape."
