Book Synopsis

In Broken Holiday Album, the photographer Verna Kovanen (*1989) invites readers to accompany her on a journey to the Mediterranean white sand beaches and the holiday resorts of her childhood. The abandoned travel destinations, which were once built to satisfy our need for escapism, today seem more like stage settings caught in a time capsule. The poetic and subtle photographs can be viewed picture by picture or — owing to the leporello form — in a panorama view that extends over nearly six meters. The passport concealed in the book’s cover pocket gives us insights into the artist’s personal life and family history. Memories and imagination, underlying themes in Verna Kovanen’s artistic work, are also prominent in this book.
