Daddy, Where Are You? collects more than 70 portraits o f this Los Angeles-based photographer's family. Set mainly in and around her mother's home in Georgia, where Gearon grew up, this series takes as its subject the interaction between the photographer, her children and her mother. These beautiful but strikingly raw photographs also document a story with a more expansive emotional force: the closeness and the profound distance between o ur loved o nes and us. It is this psychological tension, as well as her direct confrontation with o ne o f photography's enduring themes, that distinguishes Gearon from her contemporaries. Daddy, Where Are You? combines revealing tableaux, garnered from Gearon's o bservations o f family o utings and routines, with a sequence o f portraits o f her mother. Together they capture the impossibility o f truly understanding the nature o f those we love. Relié: 156 pages Editeur : Steidl Publishing (avril 2007) Langue : Anglais
