About the book
With texts by Mark Sealy, Garry Hesse and Anne McNeil. In our unpredictable world there is one certainty upon which we can always rely: yet death, when it comes, is never easy. In this extraordinary body of work, Max Handhola photographed his father in the final stages of cancer, taking serenely abstract images of blood, urine, hair, and ultimately even ash, which form a counterpoint to the haunting final photographs made at his father's bedside, including the moments just before and after death. An intensely personal, honest and moving narrative.
