Author: Stettinius, GordonThis volume presents an anthology of family-related images, through highs and lows, through lust and loss, creating a survey of work which reflects our un derstanding of 'family' in this moment. These photographs are derived from long-term documentary projects, archive-based explorations, mundane interactions and moments of intimacy. Photographers include: Priya Kambli, Rashod Taylor, Lissa Rivera, Pixie Liao, Jess Dugan, Betsy Schneider, Karla Guerrero, and more.While the motivations of any given photographer are distinctly individual, there are some foundational ideas that persist. Some artists write of their longing to remember, to document their own peculiar and beautiful realities. Others write of their desire to share their experience in hopes of adding to larger conversations about representation or identity. Taken as a whole, Memory Orchards is complex, personal and deeply relatable.ISBN 9780984573998. Candela. hb. 224 pages. 130 colour, b/w ills. 26.7 x 24.1 cm.available Show more
