SALLY MANN – THE FAMILY AND THE LAND

Posted on 2010-05-31

Sally Mann’s first solo exhibition in the UK combines several series from her long photographic career, The Family and the Land: reflects Mann’s artistic impulse to draw on the world around her as subject matter.
The ‘family’ element of the title will comprise Mann’s early series Immediate Family and the newer series Faces, both of which depict her children at various ages. The series Deep South represents the landscape, portraying images made across the south of the United States. The more recent body of work, What Remains brings together both strands of the exhibition, through its examination of how bodies, as they decompose, merge into the land itself.

Opposite – Virginia # 42, 2004

Exhibition runs from June 18th to September 19th, 2010.
