Day X is a series of 5 publications, each featuring a one-day collaboration between a writer and a photographer working in Europe.

Book No.4 : “This thing I want, I know not what” is inspired by the writing of Carson McCullers and features Bryony in a double role as performer in front of the camera and as author. Over one sweltering day and night Bryony and Enda take us along and let us dive into the experience of a young woman in search of something.
