Book Reviews of What Remains
Book Review: Unexpected Gem Ignites Human Emotions
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't even remember how I discovered this book, but I somehow came to have it in my possession. How did I recieve it again? How would one even give this book? It would surely be a strange, if not macabre gift...perhaps only for a devoted Sally Mann fan or during an explorative photographic mission...or as a lovely token from you local village shaman...It's journey to me is unknown, but its presence with me is very much memorable. I remember passing it around to my close relatives, letting them hold it and make painful contortions with their mouths, and I remember the infrequent stumble-upon-moment of browsing at my bookshelf that I would become totally entranced within it, eyes wide, eyes like a giant liquid bubble...what is the healthy way to own this book? It is much too disturbing upon a coffee table (unless that is you are trying to trigger your guests into producing a spasmic array of disgust, pitty, gloom, anger, and haunting whistfulness?) This book mines the human unconscience; it is a sacred text of wordless images; tuck it deep within your library; cherish it privately.
Summary of What Remains
Internationally acclaimed artist, Sally Mann, named 'America's Best' photographer in 2001 by Time-? magazine, offers this deeply felt meditation on morality. Renowned for her candid portrayal of family life (Immediate Family), her revealing study of girlhood (At Twelve), and landscapes from the American South (Mother Land and Deep South), internationally acclaimed photographer Sally Mann has produced a powerful new body of work on the one subject that affects us all. In WHAT REMAINS, a five-part meditation on mortality, Mann focuses her lens on the ineffable divide between body and soul, the means by which life takes leave of this earth, and the manner in which it rejoins it. Mann's new photographs are by turns shocking and sublime. An armed fugitive is hunted down by police. She photographs the scars left on her property after the incident. A series of brooding, otherworldly landscapes made at the Civil War battlefield of Antietam is followed by a group of close-up portraits of Mann's own children, floating in the inky black atmosphere of the nineteenth-century ambrotype; another series taken at a forensics study site offers an unflinching look at the process of decomposition, as do images of a beloved pet greyhound-long since departed. Made with the collodion process, using glass plates, the resulting images are at once painterly, sculptural, and photographic.Mann, Sally Books
