Alex Wesche

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Alex Wesche to talk about her work and her book Silence.

 
 
 
 

In dense fog, my walking companions often bemoan the lack of a view. I, however, treasure the rare moments when the onslaught on my senses is highly reduced.
When I see very little, but vague shapes and fragments. When I hear nothing, but my own steps. When I smell only the moist air itself.
It’s like walking in another world, or through a gateway, where anything may appear when you come out on the other side.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of Alex’s favourite books from her own collection…

  • The Garden at Orgeval… Paul Strand

  • Träskets gåta… Theodor Paues

  • Empty forest… Nanouk Prins

  • Somewhere… Martha Never

  • Stillgewässer… Thomas Rink

You can see more of Alex’s work on her website and find her on Instagram and Twitter.
