By photographing the aftermath of his husband’s death, the writer and curator Marvin Heiferman makes visible grief’s persistent ache, its loneliness, and its moments of poignant remembrance.
Like many other fortunate New Yorkers, the writers and curators Maurice Berger and Marvin Heiferman fled the city for an upstate redoubt almost as soon asarrived, two years ago. Days later, Berger began to feel sick. On March 22, 2020, Heiferman, his partner of twenty-seven years, went into the kitchen to fetch him a drink. “When I got back, something didn’t seem right,” Heiferman later wrote. “I screamed Maurice’s name, lifted him up, saw the blank look in his eyes.” Berger was sixty-three.
“Two years ago, as infection rates spiked and the death count in Manhattan started to surge, Maurice and I left the apartment and headed to upstate New York, where we thought we’d be safer. And we were, for six days.” Photograph posted March 12, 2022. “I just went through every photo I’ve posted and caption I’ve written since Maurice died.” Photograph posted February 28, 2022.
“This morning, I realized the Band-Aid from my COVID shot was still there.” Photograph posted February 23, 2021.
