8324

8324 by Hendrik Schneider is a book collecting images focused on the sanctity embedded in acts of giving. It explores the common ways in which we inherently, as humans, attempt to articulate the loss of identity, of self. Through the memorial practice of flowers we see the giving of life and beauty through grief and respect and the most ancient technology we have, fire, as a means to purify and destroy.

Interwoven throughout the book are contributions by Ecco2k, Arca, and Bladee, whose interventions echo and extend these themes, each offering a distinct, intimate reflection on ritual, memory, and the fragile thresholds between absence and presence.
