The book tells the story of the life and death of Mary Cameron (“Cammy”) Robinson, a young woman who suffered from an eating disorder and then died because of it. The book uses a variety of different materials such as photographs taken by Abril, archival photographs and materials from the family archives (which are either reproduced through photographs or at times as facsimile pieces inserted into the book), and text in the form of longer transcripts of conversations with family members and friends and short captions.
As the artist indicates in her webpage, The Epilogue is about absence, but also about Cammy’s omnipresence: her energy, her willfulness, her often clandestine struggle with a disorder that truncated her life and capsized the lives of those around her. The book shares the dilemmas and the frustration, the guilt and the sorrow, all blended together in the bittersweet act of remembering their most troubled loved one.The Epilogue is about absence, but also about Cammy’s omnipresence: her energy, her willfulness, her often clandestine struggle with a disorder that truncated her life and capsized the lives of those around her.
