The book "Correction, Addition and Deletion" by Xanthe Geyer offers an in-depth analysis of the role of memory in historical research, particularly in the context of photography. It examines how photographs can shape our identity and historical consciousness. Through a critical engagement with the theories of Roland Barthes, Annette Kuhn, and Marianne Hirsch, the ability of images to construct, suppress, or transform memories is illuminated. Geyer specifically focuses on the work of contemporary South African artist Lien Botha and her series "Amendment" (2006) to explore the connection between memory and visual narration. This scholarly book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art, memory, and history.
