Twin Palms publie dans un grand format les photographies en couleur de Gary Winogrand, grand représentant de la photographie de rue américaine. Des photos très peu exposées de son vivant sont ici présentées pour la première fois dans un livre qui fait suite à une exposition évènement au Brooklyn Museum en 2019.
Brodie's decade-long record of his transient American life, brimming with poignant stories of those he encountered along the way
Mike Brodie's first monograph, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, touched down more than decade ago, depicting his fellow rail-riders and drifters in a rebellious and wildfire pursuit of adventure and freedom. "Brodie leapt into the life of picture-making as if he was the first to do it," Danny Lyon wrote about the book in Aperture. Next came Tones of Dirt and Bone, a collection of earlier SX-70 pictures Brodie made when photography first led him to hopping freights, when he was known as "The Polaroid Kidd." And then Brodie seemed to disappear from the art world as suddenly and mysteriously as he'd first appeared. Maybe his vanishing was another myth. Maybe it was just a necessary retreat. "I was divorcing myself from all that," he says. "I was growing up. I was pursuing this other life."
If A Period of Juvenile Prosperity was a cinematic dream, Failing is the awakening and the reckoning: a raw, wounded and searingly honest photographic diary of a decade marked by love and heartbreak, loss and grief. Here is the flip side of the American dream, seen from within; here is bearing close witness to the brutal chaos of addiction and death; here are front-seat encounters with hitchhikers and kindred wanderers on society's edges, sustained by the ragtag community of the road. Failing often exists in darkness but is tuned to grace. Brodie's eye stays forever open to the strange and fleeting beauty that exists in forgotten places--the open country and the lost horizons that sweep past dust-spattered windows in a spectral blur.
Michael Brodie (born 1985) is the author of A Period of Juvenile Prosperity (2013) and Tones of Dirt and Bone (2015). He lives with his girlfriend in Biloxi, Mississippi, where the railroad is never far, just hidden in the trees from view. Unseen, it rattles the windows and floors of their apartment every time a train passes through.
L'Amérique alternative des hobo à travers l'oeil du photographe autodidacte Mike Brodie. Adolescent, il a sillonné l'Amérique dans des trains de marchandise et immortalisé ses aventures avec sensibilité.
Le photographe américain Jim Mangan a commencé The Crick comme une étude photographique sur l'architecture étonnante des maisons de l'église fondamentaliste de Jésus-Christ des saints des derniers jours (FLDS) dans la ville frontalière Utah-Arizona de Short Creek. Il a rapidement découvert un groupe d'adolescents naviguant dans leur communauté déchirée après que le chef Warren Jeffs ait été emprisonné en 2011. Ces sujets étaient des enfants au moment des faits ; ils sont restés avec leurs familles à Short Creek alors que d'autres ont choisi de quitter la ville. Ici, Jim Mangan propose une méditation sur la succession religieuse, les systèmes patriarcaux et la fraternité dans la vie construite par ces jeunes garçons qui se rêvent en hommes, explorant leur région à cheval comme les explorateurs d'antan. Sur 5 ans, il dépeint le jeu de la jeunesse face à la nature spectaculaire de l'Ouest américain, qu'ils connaissent mieux que beaucoup de leurs contemporains en dehors de leur communauté.
A haunting photographic return to adolescent mysteries in the Ozarks.
In this debut monograph, American photographer Henry O. Head reimagines the peaks and valleys of a defining teenage friendship in the Ozark hills where he spent his adolescence. From spring 2023 through summer 2024, Head revisited the terrain of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri-wild country with limestone bluffs shot through with quartz, where cottonmouths coil on exposed roots by slow creeks and alligator gar glide like phan
This fascinating monograph reproduces, for the first time, photographs William Eggleston made with a 2-1/4 camera early in his career while his well-known style was evolving. There is an obvious brilliance at work in these youthful images, revealing both moments of discovery and roads not taken.
Second volet des photographies d'errance du jeune Mike Brodie. Réalisées entre 2004 et 2006 avec un appareil photo Polaroid, elles témoignent de la vie de ces hobos qui traversent les Etats-Unis à bord des trains de marchandise.
The short-lived career of nineteenth-century photographer F. Holland Day is the basis for this important historical monograph. Though he is perhaps best known for his controversial "sacred subjects" in which he posed himself as Jesus Christ, Day quickly moved to the forefront of American photography with his portraiture and his later mythological series. Day was probably the first great photographer of the male nude. A friend of Oscar Wilde and an early proponent of gay rights, women's rights, and racial equality, scandal surrounded him and caused his marginalization.
