Bemerkung:

Umschlag berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Incorporating the written word within the frame of the photograph, Anne Turyn explores how we think and remember, what we feel, how we act, and how we structure our information. When American Photographer named her the recipient of their 1986 New Faces Award in Fine Art Photography, they noted, "Combining interests in storytelling, memory, linguistics, and psychology, Turyn creates ambiguous and evocative scenes personal enough to set her work apart from the retreaded conceptualism of much recent avant-garde photography.": In Dear Pen Pal a child's innocuous observations about life in America are critically transformed when paired with such familiar objects as a nutcracker, small toys, and candy. -- In Dear John we vicariously participate in an open-ended drama about the writing, reception, and discovery of Dear John letters. -- Lessons & Notes is set in a classroomlike environment where children grapple with simply worded pieces of writing that, in fact, address complex questions concerning how we assign meaning to experience. -- Flashbulb Memories combines significant newspaper headlines from 1920 to 1980 with appropriate tableaux from everyday life.
