With Vivian, her second novel to be published in English, Christina Hesselholdt delves into the world of the enigmatic American photographer Vivian Maier (1926–2009), whose unique body of work only reached the public by chance. On the surface, Vivian Maier lived a quiet life, working as a nanny for bourgeois families in Chicago and New York. And yet, over the course of four decades, she took more than 150,000 photos, most of them with Rolleiflex cameras. The pictures were discovered in an auction shortly before she died, impoverished and feasibly very lonely. Who was this outsider artist, and why did she remain in the shadows her whole life? In this playful, polyphonic novel, we watch Vivian grow up in a severely dysfunctional family in New York and Champsaur in France, and we follow her later life as a nanny and street photographer in Chicago. A meditation on art, madness and identity, Vivian is a brilliant novel by Denmark’s most inventive and radical novelist.

Following a courtroom outburst, a judge orders her to anger counseling, which is immediately complicated by a counselor who desires Vivian.

Christina Hesselholdt tager i sin nye roman fat i den gådefulde amerikanske gadefotograf Vivian Maier (1926-2009), hvis unikke fotografiske livsværk kun ved et tilfælde nåede offentligheden. Vivian Maier levede på overfladen en stilfærdig tilværelse som en kærlig, kontant og ilter barnepige for velbjærgede familier i Chicago og New York. Men i over fire årtier tog hun mere end 150.000 fotos, hovedparten med Rolleiflex kameraer. Billederne kom først for dagens lys på en auktion kort før hun døde forarmet og vist nok temmelig ensom. I en tid, hvor jegdyrkelse og selviscenesættelse når nye højder, udøver Vivian Maier en særlig fascination. Hvem var denne excentriske person? Og hvorfor forsøgte hun ikke at komme til at leve af sin kunst? I Vivian beskæftiger en hel flok af stemmer, inklusiv Vivians egen, sig med disse spørgsmål. Man følger Vivian gennem hendes opvækst hos en mildest talt dysfunktionel familie i New York og i Champsaur i Frankrig, og man følger hende som barnepige i Chicago og som fotograf på gaderne i de amerikanske storbyer og på landet i Frankrig. Det er stemmerne der bærer fortællingen frem, Vivians mors stemme, Vivians stemme, stemmen hos et af de børn hun passede og forældrenes stemmer. Og ikke mindst stemmen tilhørende den pågående fortæller, der holder trådene i fortællingen sammen og stiller Vivian nærgående spørgsmål. Pressen skriver: »Den der vittige kække gæve djærve kokette bramfri lakoniske bryske brave tone […] Et orkester af stemmer dirigeret af en storladen fortæller. […] Mange af tekststykkerne er små værker i sig selv, mættede med kringlede tanker og rige metaforer […] Hesselholdts skriftsprog […] løber så ubesværet og storladent af sted som en elegant, erfaren kvindes på én gang henkastede og nøje koreograferede gestikulation« ****** – Lilian Munk Rösing, Politiken »Tydeligvis er den nye roman, Vivian, en prisværdig bestræbelse på at rykke ud af komfortzonen, væk fra det selvcentrerede. Den bevægelse gør denne læser mere end glad. […] Forfatterens stil er fortsat dejligt egensindig […] Man læser den engageret, tvivlende, diskuterende. […] eksperimentet kalder på respekt.« ***** – Erik Svendsen, Jyllands-Posten »Smuk fortælling om tab og livsbegær. […] den morsomme Hesselholdt […] Hesselholdts særlige evne til at gestalte en karakter, så man mærker den helt ind under huden. […] Vivan er en smuk bog.« ***** – Mai Misfeldt, Kristeligt Dagblad »Fascinerende sjæleportræt […] Sproget og billederne emmer af poesi og musikalitet […] Med en slående visualitet og sans for de billedskabende detaljer har Christina Hesselholdt skabt en særegen roman […] en fascinerende og smuk collage over en kuriøs kunstnersjæl.« ****** – Anne Skov Thomsen, Nordjyske Stiftstidende »I sine øjeblikke, sætning for sætning, er Christina Hesselholdts nye roman Vivian helt fantastisk. Hun er en af de bedste stilister i Danmark. […] Der er en utrolig, perlende, men også helt upåfaldende lethed i hendes sprog, en næsten melankolsk humor, der ligesom bobler frem i det enkelte ordvalg. […] en uforbeholden nydelse at læse.« – Tue Andersen Nexø, Information »Hesselholdt viser os en personlighed, der lever på anden hånd, et frit og selvstændigt vidne, der har sat sig for at afsløre gadens, livets sandhed. Det gør hun meget overbevisende.« ***** – Preben Rasmussen, Fyens Stiftstidende »Livfuldt og intenst flaksende roman […] lykkeligt vellykkede Vivian. […] højt sprogkunstnerisk niveau. Det er nærmest skandaløst, at jeg er kommet så langt uden at eksaltere over, hvor skønt bogen er skrevet. Men det er den! […] også i Vivian lyner skriften med sin helt egen fine og skæve excentricitet« – Lars Bukdahl, Weekendavisen

"en författare som med suveränt handlag låter många jag tala och hela liv växa ur några få rader. En omistlig röst i samtidslitteraturen."Borås Tidning”I Hesselholdts framkallningsbad tonar Maier gradvis fram, omgiven av sina skiftande arbetsgivare och med USA:s efterkrigshistoria som brus i bakgrunden. Anslaget är lätt, inte sällan lekfullt, men det som porträtteras här är nog en känsla av förgänglighet. Säkert är hur som helst att detta är en av höstens bästa romaner.”Tidningen ViNominerad till Nordiska rådets litteraturpris 2017 Vivian Maier (1926–2009) levde ett helt anonymt liv och arbetade som barnflicka i välbeställda familjer i New York och Chicago. Strax före hennes död fann man den otroliga samling fotonegativ – över 100 000 stycken – som hon tagit under fyra decennier. Foton på människor och platser som nu räknas som ett av nittonhundratalets mest betydande fotografiska konstverk.I Christina Hesselholdts roman möter vi Vivian genom en kör av olika röster, bland annat via Ellen, ett av de barn hon passar. Vi får ta del av Vivians svåra uppväxt i en familj som ursprungligen emigrerat från Europa till USA, och hennes ensamhet som vuxen. Hon bor hos den familj hon jobbar hos, är en fysisk del av den, men ändå alltid utan samhörighet. På gatorna lever hon upp, hon lever för att fotografera. Och i sitt rum samlar hon tidningsurklipp och fotografier, travar dem ända upp till taket, så att hon knappt ryms själv.Vivan är ett vibrerande mästerstycke om kompromisslös­het och konstnärskap, skriven på glasklar prosa.”Hos Hesselholdt får man lära känna Vivian genom berättarjaget, familjerna hon jobbar hos, hennes egen dysfunktionella familj och henne själv. Man tror på dem alla, trots deras ibland motsägelsefulla historier. Och det gör Hesselholdts tolkning av Vivian till något av det mest övertygande jag läst.”Opulens”det är framför allt i de stycken där Vivian själv får komma till tals som boken glänser. Fram träder bilden av en kvinna som hade svårt att känna sig hemma i samtidens normer och som hellre betraktade tillvaron än deltog i den.”Sydsvenskan”en fantasieggande bild av en annorlunda människa och stor konstnär.”Vi Läser

The definitive monograph of American photographer Vivian Maier, exploring the full range and brilliance of her work and the mystery of her life, written and edited by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman; featuring 250 black-and-white images, color work, and other materials never seen before; and a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman. Vivian Maier's story-the secretive nanny-photographer during her life who becomes a popular sensation shortly after her death-has, to date, been pieced together only from previously seen or known images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. During her lifetime she shot more than 100,000 images, which she kept hidden from the world. In 2007, two years before her death, Chicago historic preservationist John Maloof discovered a trove of negatives, and roll upon roll of undeveloped film in a storage locker he bought at auction. They revealed a surprising and accomplished artist and a stunning body of work, which Maloof championed and brought to worldwide acclaim. Vivian Maier presents the most comprehensive collection and largest selection of the photographer's work-created during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country-almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work. It features images of and excerpts from Maier's personal artifacts, memorabilia, and audiotapes, made available for the first time. This remarkable volume draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on Maier's photographic skill and her life.

Harper Design International
2018

The first definitive monograph of color photographs by American street photographer Vivian Maier.Photographer Vivian Maier’s allure endures even though many details of her life continue to remain a mystery. Her story—the secretive nanny-photographer who became a pioneer photographer—has only been pieced together from the thousands of images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. Vivian Maier: The Color Work is the largest and most highly curated published collection of Maier’s full-color photographs to date. With a foreword by world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz and text by curator Colin Westerbeck, this definitive volume sheds light on the nature of Maier’s color images, examining them within the context of her black-and-white work as well as the images of street photographers with whom she clearly had kinship, like Eugene Atget and Lee Friedlander. With more than 150 color photographs, most of which have never been published in book form, this collection of images deepens our understanding of Maier, as its immediacy demonstrates how keen she was to record and present her interpretation of the world around her.
