How to Look at a Carcass

“what leaves and comes back? how do we deal with death, in return, how does it deal us?”

The writing finds itself rife with questions, overflowing into the conversations about spectral landscapes, ‘extinction’ as a state of existence, death and the life that exists beyond and how we look at temporal movements, like regeneration and resurrection. It also calls into question how we understand ‘death’ in the face of ecological crisis, setting the piece within the story of the Pyrenees Ibex. “How to Look at a Carcass” is a mediation on energies flowing back and forth between past and present, including the ones that haunt us. Published as an accordion book, a delicate handling of signatures.
