Bryan Gee at the W.G. Sebald conference in Amsterdam

Still from Tacita Dean’s Michael Hamburger, 2007

For the last three years I’ve been engaged in the development and early writing stages of a visual novel.

On December 13, 2019 I presented my models and experiments for this work-in-progress in Amsterdam at the conference Memory, Word and Image: W.G. Sebald’s Artistic Legacies, Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture, University of Amsterdam, December 12-14, 2019.

In addition to presenting these experiments I traced the historical precedents for my project in artists books, in novels that use images, and how my own past work as a book designer informs my current practice.
