‘The grey-haired should not bury those with black hair’, the saying goes. When there is unacceptable loss, in the case of a young child's death or suicide, those left behind are left with big questions. 

Hermans' debut as a photographer presents a poetic-photographic account of unacceptable loss. It’s the result of a three-year long proces that leads via Paris in 1973 to an off-the-grid cottage in the Sud-Eifel to seclusion during both corona lockdowns in 2021 and 2022.

The book contains three visual stories. and two additional texts layers with a contributen of Dutch writer Anton Dautzenberg and Dutch graphic designer -SYB-.
