Unrecounted

For a number of years until his death in 2001, W. G. Sebald and the artist Jan Peter Tripp exchanged poems and lithographs.

Unrecounted is the startlingly original result of this long artistic friendship — a creative dialogue inspired by shared concerns. Sebald's words and Tripp's images speak of moments salvaged from time passing, and of memory and remembrance. Both poet and artist explore the detail of reality, probing its depths and taking us to its very limits — the point at which eyes bear witness and facts are transformed by experience.

With the same moving intensity as Sebald’s fiction, Unrecounted takes us to these unexplored spaces dense with meaning and emotion.
