Richter's Uve Is a Complex Form of Mourning

Benjamin Richter's project is partly to see if under the advancing conditions of reification and alienation, a memory image can even exist. The photograph can never become the memory image because it is always the afterlife of forgetting. And that perhaps further from this deep problem of the memory image that Richter's Uve is at both a complex form of mourning,. A kind of working through of all of these losses and failures and a form of melancholia.
