When death came knocking, the late Tiia Johannson knocked back. After being diagnosed with Hodgkins disease, Johannson produced two very different works, both bold efforts at coming to terms with her illness. Whereas Black Sun captures her physiological state, Namebook is a trip to the cemetery. Each frame lasts only a few seconds and features images of dozens of graves. Cropping each image so that only the first name is visible, the dead become friends, family, and perhaps even ourselves.
