Sally Mann Bücher

Erstmals 1992 veröffentlicht, gilt "Unmittelbare Familie" als eines der bedeutendsten Fotobücher unserer Zeit und als eines der einflussreichsten. Vor der idyllischen Kulisse ihres Waldhauses in Virginia zeigen Sally Manns intime Fotografien ihrer Kinder Wahrheiten, die die Individualität ihrer eigenen Familie verkörpern und letztlich eine universelle Qualität annehmen. Mit erhabener Würde, scharfem Witz und wilder Anmut erkunden Manns Bilder den ewigen Kampf zwischen der gleichzeitigen Abhängigkeit des Kindes und dem Streben nach Autonomie. Sally Mann wurde 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, geboren. Ihre Arbeiten wurden weltweit ausgestellt und befinden sich in Institutionen wie dem Metropolitan Museum of Art, dem Museum of Modern Art und dem Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, dem San Francisco Museum of Modern Art und dem Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Sie erhielt zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, darunter einen Doktortitel vom Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., und ein Stipendium der Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

This National Book Award finalist is a revealing and beautifully written memoir and family history from acclaimed photographer Sally Mann. In this groundbreaking book, a unique interplay of narrative and image, Mann's preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her. Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder." In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own life.

Through her photographs inside Twombly's studio Sally Mann captures his artistic life without his actual presence.
