Here/after is about whales, but as most of us know them best. As skeletons suspended high above us, or behind glass displays in a museum. But how did they get there? What are the stories behind their life, and what becomes of them now they’re labelled, numbered specimens?
Written while in residence at the Natural History Museum’s Cetacea research collection, Here/after is about life, death, and life after death for these whale bones. It also touches on Hathaway’s own grief and how spending time with these specimens helped her come to terms with loss.
Available on Kickstarter.
