Beskrivelse
A photograph lives in multiple eras at once: the time of its making, the time of its unveiling, the time of its subsequent rediscovery. -Rebecca BengalIn Strange Hours: Photography, Memory, and the Lives of Artists, Rebecca Bengal considers the photographers who have defined our relationship to the medium. Through generous essays and interviews, she contemplates photography's narrative power, from the radical intimacy of Nan Goldin's New York demimonde to Justine Kurland's pictures of rebel girls on the open road. Bengal brings us closer to pioneering artists and the personal and political stories surrounding their images. She travels with Alec Soth in Minneapolis, searching for thehouses where Prince once lived, and revisits Chauncey Hare's 1979 protest against the Museum of Modern Art. She speaks with Dawoud Bey about his evocative portraits and explores Diana Markosian's cinematic take on her family's immigration to the US. Throughout Strange Hours, Bengal's prose is attuned to the alchemy of experience, chance, and vision that has always pushed photography's potential for unforgettable storytelling.
