I Can't Stand to See You Cry
FORTUNE RAHIM · 2021
"I can't stand to see you cry is an exploration of Texas and the surrounding states, as well as the people who are fixed within its complex landscape. Fortune analyses relationships between family, friends and strangers, all caught in a flood of health and environmental issues while working to maintain grace. The artist uses his own personal experiences to explore the friction between public and private life, and the unspoken tensions in daily life through an approach rooted in the landscape. Moreover, Fortune's biographical approach to photography attempts to unpack his own identity and experience in the midst of a pandemic, civil unrest, a cross-country move, a career, and the loss of a parent, thinking about both the future and past."--

42nd and Vanderbilt
Peter Funch · 2017
Between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. From 2007 to 2016. At the southern corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue in New York City. These are the parameters Danish photographer Peter Funch placed on his 9 year photographic project, 42nd and Vanderbilt. In narrowing the infinite opportunities New York City has to offer an artist, Funch brings to the surface the minutiae contained within a fragment of our daily routine, the short walk from Point A to Point B, reminding us that the practice of photography in general, and street photography specifically, has only scratched the surface of possibility. Through categorical editing, equal parts intuitive and scientific, human patterning and mannerisms normally passed over on first read, become meditations on time, mortality, public and private space, the economy, and our inner selves. The fact that our own unknown tendencies, together with the rhythms and denizens of our surrounding ecosystem, can endure and replay over a path traveled thousands of times, becoming akin to performance, is nothing short of a revelation.

Nan Goldin: The Ballad of Sexual Dependency
Nan Goldin · 2012
First published in 1986, Nan Goldin's <i>The Ballad of Sexual Dependency</i> is a visual diary chronicling the struggles for intimacy and understanding among the friends and lovers whom Goldin describes as her tribe. These photographs described a lifestyle that was visceral, charged and seething with a raw appetite for living, and the book soon became the swan song for an era that reached its peak in the early 1980s. Twenty-five years later, Goldin's lush color photography and candid style still demand that the viewer encounter their profound intensity head-on. As she writes: Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound and physical presence, the density and flavor of life. Through an accurate and detailed record of Goldin's life, <i>The Ballad of Sexual Dependency</i> records a personal odyssey as well as a more universal understanding of the different languages men and women speak. The book's influence on photography and other aesthetic realms has continued to grow, making it a classic of contemporary photography. This anniversary edition features all-new image separations produced using state-of-the-art technologies and specially prepared reproduction files, which offer a lush, immersive experience of this touchstone monograph.

Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation
Mathieu Asselin · 2017
•The photographer Mathieu Asselin takes on the daunting task of exploring the controversial and infamous agricultural company, Monsanto, through investigative photography<br/><br/>•This study captures the complexity of this topic, creating links between past, present and future and illuminating many different aspects from a variety of perspectives<br/>•Featuring many previously unseen pictures, along with archival information about the damage Monsanto has caused, both to the environment and to communities in the US and overseas, and how the company has tried to cover it up<br/><br/>Monsanto has had a rapid rise and a more-than-colorful history, marked by cover-ups and scandals: dioxins in PCB coolants, genetically modified products such as the bovine growth hormone Posilac, and the production of the defoliant Agent Orange. The company is still highly controversial, irritating scientists, environmental organizations and human rights associations and acting in a way that makes people doubt the harmlessness of its products. As a manufacturer of food and animal feed, seeds and chemical products, Monsanto is relentlessly developing and marketing new technologies. The monopoly it has arguably secured by dubious means bears no relation to its negligence with regard to potential risks. Particularly in light of the devastating consequences that are still causing suffering to people and the environment in many places, the company's self-portrayal as a forward-looking, omnipotent force for good seems cynical.<br/><br/>The photographer Mathieu Asselin has tried his hand at the daunting task of exploring the issues surrounding Monsanto. His investigative photographic study manages to capture the complexity of this topic, creating links between past, present and future and illuminating many different aspects from a variety of perspectives. His photos and texts raise awareness of the problems involved. Throughout the book, Asselin seems to be concerned about who is actually responsible and who is affected by the consequences. Recognizing that passing the buck is a useless game, his photos show that there are victims on all sides: physical deformities in Vietnam, families plagued by death and disease in the US, illegal waste dumps, depopulated regions, destroyed cornfields and farmers whose livelihood has been ruined.<br/><br/>The photos are complemented by a wealth of archival material, extracts from press releases, court files, and image campaigns, as well as different slogans and stills from commercials, which in comparison seem as glib and farcical as Disneyland. These expose Monsanto's absurd attempts to pass itself off as a company interested in satisfying today's demands and preserving the earth for future generations.
