Slowtime Alabama & The Beautiful Sadness is about the Deep South, a highly complex and interesting part of the US. It is a fairytale-like photo/text book about good and evil, the human condition, an alt-right chipmunk named Jeremiah Day, and ultimately about the fear of the other. The book consists of photographs and texts about things the author experienced and tales people told her. She fabricates a very long short story in which fiction and non-fiction intertwine. The book examines a highly polarised cultural landscape where beauty and violence, myth and reality coexist in the American South.
