Marble
Amalie Smith ignites everyday encounters into sites of revelation and metamorphosis Recently unearthed from the ground, Marble leaves her new lover in Copenhagen and travels to Athens.

In this volatile landscape, Marble grasps the world by exploring its immediate surfaces. Capturing specks of colour on ancient sculptures in the Acropolis Museum with an infrared camera, she simultaneously traces the pioneering sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen, who spent several months in the same place 110 years earlier.

The Dolls
Stories from a world both fantastically strange and gruellingly familiar where isolation, ruin, prejudice, and misinformation soar in an irresistible, susurrant fugue of displaced families yearning to belong In the four stories that make up The Dolls, characters are plagued by unexplained illnesses and oblique, human-made disasters and environmental losses.

Based on this, she argues that literary texts ca...
