Coming Soon: Blinked Myself Awake by Magnum Photographer Bieke Depoorter

Photobook lovers, get ready! Bieke Depoorter's long-awaited new work Blinked Myself Awake is set to launch this November. Known for her intimate and deeply personal approach, Depoorter invites us into a unique exploration of memory, trauma, and the cosmos in this stunning photobook.

In recent years, photographer Bieke Depoorter has sought out amateur stargazers, visited state-of-the-art observatories, and researched the history of astronomy. Never especially interested in the field earlier, she gradually realized that her new obsession was related to childhood memories lost due to trauma. The night sky is, after all, a kind of shared memory: the light from celestial bodies can take hundreds or thousands of light-years to reach our eyes on earth. Some observable stars may have disappeared long ago.

Depoorter felt reluctant to look at stars herself but was drawn to observing others as they observed the universe. In Blinked Myself Awake, she investigates the fragility of memory, photography's unreliability, the human desire for objectivity, and the elusive nature of ‘truth.’ She connects the dots of a highly personal narrative, interweaving images of stargazers with diaristic texts and fragments from the history of astronomy – a science that was forever changed by the invention of photography.

If you're a lover of meaningful, thought-provoking photobooks, this one is not to be missed. Pre-orders open now—secure your copy of Blinked Myself Awake before its release in early November! There is only 200 copies!
