Produktbeschreibung
Fifty years after Robert Frank's seminal book »The Americans« released, Zoe Strauss's own AMERICA breaks new ground. The Philadelphia native who has brought us searing images of that city's marginalized people and places on the fringe of society, has taken her no-holds-barred, up-close-and-personal style of photography on the road across the underbelly of America. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss's photographs of the beauty and struggle of everyday life resonate as a social document of our time and as sheer and powerful art. Zoe Strauss's images underscore an America that more often than not goes unseen. Zoe Strauss had never picked up a camera before her 30th birthday. But in these recent years she has generated a huge body of work that has been recognized and exhibited in the Whitney Biennial, as well as New York's Bruce Silverstein Gallery, and garnered her a United States Artists grant and a Gund Fellowship. Additionally, Ms. Strauss creates a yearly public exhibit titled "Under I-95" shot beneath Philadelphia's interstate, that has garnered a devoted following. This is the first monograph of this incredibly talented and prolific photographer.
Autorenporträt
Born in Philadelphia, Strauss, a self-taught photographer was given a camera for her 30th birthday and started taking pictures of life in the city's marginal neighborhoods. Described as the chronicler of Philadelphia's mean streets and the town's own Diane Arbus, Under I-95 is the title of her attention-grabbing annual installation. Shows, awards, acclaim and fellowships soon followed the receipt fo her first camera - 2002 Leeway Grant, 2004 Arcadia Works on Paper award, 2005 Pew Fellow Award and Zoe Strauss Night at the Whitney Museum in 2006.
