In The Epilogue, Laia Abril creates something far beyond a photobook: she builds a space for remembrance. With remarkable sensitivity and an impeccable visual narrative, she reconstructs the life of Mary Cameron “Cammy” Robinson, who died at 26 as a consequence of bulimia and the eating disorders she suffered from.
Through testimonies from family and friends, domestic photographs, letters, personal belongings, and carefully edited silences, Laia does more than document a loss — she restores a presence. Cammy emerges in fragments: vibrant, complex, vulnerable. Her story resists being reduced to her illness.
What makes the book especially powerful is how Laia places grief at the center without ever turning it into spectacle. Cammy’s absence becomes the core of the narrative — an emptiness that resonates through every page, and one that left an irreparable void within the Robinson family.
The Epilogue stands as a restrained yet deeply affecting masterpiece. Its precise and compassionate visual storytelling reflects Laia’s ability to approach painful realities with integrity, depth, and extraordinary care. It is not simply a book to look at — it is a book to sit with.
