Please join us for the London launch of internationally renowned photographer Lina Scheynius’s hybrid text and photobook Diary of an Ending at Tenderbooks in London on Wednesday 9 July.

Lina will be signing copies of the book, and in conversation with writer and translator Saskia Vogel.

In her first text-based book, Scheynius expands her artistic vision to prose, offering an unflinching and intimate exploration of heartbreak and self-recovery.

Blurring the boundaries between diary and essay, Diary of an Ending explores the break-up of a relationship, combining extracts from Scheynius’s diary – written in Swedish and translated by Saskia Vogel – with reflective essays written in English five years on, exploring ideas about art and photography, sex and passion, the act of diary-making, destructive relationships, motherhood and home.

Interspersed with black-and-white photographs, and written with the same unashamed and unfiltered honesty that defines Scheynius’s photography, Diary of an Ending is an intimate hybrid of memoir and autofiction, a meditation on the passage of time and the transformative power of creativity.
