Missen als een ronde vorm' (The roundness of loss) is a publication about art as an 'in memoriam'. It contains poems, personal texts, works by Hanne Hagenaars and texts based on artworks by others. A book about loss, mourning, missing and rituals. How can we keep a deceased loved one close to us? Through specific artworks, Hagenaars discusses the possible ways in which someone can 'live on' and the context of this commemoration. How does remembrance relate to ideas about life and death, to religion, spirituality or the social context? Hanne Hagenaars: 'How to remember someone is a subject that has long fascinated me. Death is the great unknown in our lives; everyone is a little afraid of it. Death makes those left behind lonely, there is grief, and often words are lacking to speak about death. Loss and grief are invisible - how do you give them form? How do you make sure you do not lose someone completely?'
