‘The fragmented stories and haunted photographs in Paul Scraton and Eymelt Sehmer’s In the Pines feel like field recordings from the shadow forest of their imaginations, transcribed into the pages of an old Explorer’s Journal. I felt like I had gone into the forest, rucksack packed with Binoculars, Compass, Penknife, Whistle, Magnifying glass, Notebook, Pencil… and this haunting, collodion-eerie book..’
– Jeff Youngl, author of Ghost Town
In the Pines is author Paul Scraton’s story of an unnamed narrator’s lifelong relationship with the forest and the mysteries it contains, told through fragmented stories that capture the blurred details and sharp focus of memory..
Accompanied by eerie images created using a 170-year-old technique of collodion wet plate photography by Eymelt Sehmer, In the Pines is a powerfully evocative collaboration between image and text
Over de auteur
Eymelt Sehmer is a Berlin based professional photographer, artist and filmmaker. Growing up in a densely wooded area in West Germany the forest always fueled her imagination.
In her works she mainly focuses on mythology, fairy tales and folklore. She is particularly interested in old analogue photographic techniques. Together with icelandic artist Mr. Arnarson she runs an art gallery and photo studio in Berlin.
In the Pines is her second collaboration with writer Paul Scraton. For this book she made Paul drag her mobile darkroom through the woods of Brandenburg. Yet, she hopes that there will be more projects with Paul to come.
