"Czech photographer Dita Pepe's book explores identity through meticulously staged portraits in which she imagines herself in various roles: a country girl, a businessman's wife, a mother of a large family, an elderly woman, and a collector of rare china. Born in 1973, Pepe uses these self-portraits to delve into themes of alternative lives and identities, questioning how different circumstances could shape one's existence. This monograph is her first, showcasing her unique creative approach to photography by casting herself in diverse scenarios to explore the nuances of identity and life possibilities."
