Why am I unable to visit my father’s grave? by Erell Hemmer is a photographic and poetic project that follows the death of François Hemmer, former sailor, captain and maritime expert. In the form of an initiatory journey, Erell Hemmer retraces the process of mourning over five years by interweaving her photographs, and her father texts, photographs and engravings. Born in Le Havre and raised in Brittany near Saint-Malo, Erell Hemmer has always intuitively found her inspiration near the coast. The sea occupies her life and her imagination and is the common thread of her questioning.
