Edition of 20 + 5 APs
Black Mountains Studio is pleased to present this special collectors edition of Widline Cadet’s debut monograph Ritual [Dis]Appearance / Seremoni Disparisyon.
This collectible set was designed by Widline Cadet in collaboration with For the Birds Trapped in Airports and bound by hand in Los Angeles. It includes:
A signed copy of the first edition of the book
One signed and numbered 8.5-by-11-inch archival pigment print Untitled Outake, 2023 (image size is 8-by-10 inches)
A unique signed one of one 4.25-by-3.39-inch Instax print selected from the artist’s archive (image size is 3.90-by-2.44 inches)
Two specially design and handmade clamshell boxes and hardcover portfolio featuring blind deboss details on Japanese Asahi silk book cloth
Ritual [Dis]Appearance / Seremoni Disparisyon.offers a critical exploration of photography as a visual archive of her family’s diasporic experience. Drawing from her Haitian heritage and personal archive, Cadet weaves together staged portraits, archival interventions, and atmospheric stills to examine how Black and immigrant identities are shaped, remembered, and at times, fragmented across time and space. Her images are both intimate and expansive—merging personal narrative with broader questions of identity, memory, displacement, cultural continuity and erasure.
The book features an essay by Shanna Jean-Baptiste, along with interviews and conversations between Widline and her great aunt, mother, and sister—three women representing different generations of her family.
