About

Ode to a Cemetery Synopsis

Green-Wood, founded in 1838, was a leader in the Rural Cemetery movement in America. Its 478 acres encompass magnificent grounds, grand architecture and world-class statuary. Throughout four seasons, Jacobson's book captures the spirit of this verdant, history-drenched pastoral cemetery.

Bethany Eden Jacobson creates a moving portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery in her colour and black and white photographs of century old trees, grand vistas and time worn statuary. Her cinematic approach is a visual meditation on the transience of life and the importance of nature to the human spirit. The book also includes reproductions of her unique artworks on handmade paper inspired by the female Victorian statuary. Throughout the book, Cole Swensen's poetic words reflect on the imagery, creating a lyrical interplay between image and text.
