Product Description

Book Description

Sally Mann remains among the most innovative, talked-about and daring artists working with a camera today. Deep South is a much-anticipated collection of her exquisite, ethereal landscape photography, taken in the years since she rose to international fame with her groundbreaking book Immediate Family. The photographs contained here, many produced with the 19th century collodion process and a variety of toning techniques, capture what Mann calls "the radical light of the American Sout"'. Incredible, ghostly and heartbreakingly beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep South, deep sadness, deep joy, 26 Dec 2007
By G. E. Harrison (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is a finely presented book, on good quality paper, featuring tritone prints of Sally Mann's beautiful and evocative images of Southern landscapes in her native Virginia and throughout the Deep South. The photographs are captured using 19th century techniques giving the images extra depth and texture which, together with the tritone printing process, mean that these are the most colourful 'black and white' photographs you will ever see.

These are not conventional landscape photographs, indeed some are hardly recognisable as landscapes at all, but the combination of their antiquated method of conception with Mann's short introductory essays on Southern history and culture perfectly evoke the haunting sadness of the South's recent past. The prints speak of the Civil War, of slavery, of wealth and poverty, of economic rise and fall, of discrimination, all with a silent and moving dignity. They also speak of Mann's obvious love for her birthplace, where she still lives, despite some of the more shameful aspects of the South's past/present.

The prints also incorporate and exploit faults and accidents in the glass negative process, making the flawed images strangely reminiscent of modern painting. This is ironic as the invention of photography once freed painting from representative imagery and Sally Mann has now used these same very early photographic techniques to subvert her modern images. The resulting complex images possibly reflect the flawed and complex cultural identity of the South and Mann's relationship with it.

I find this book a very beautiful and moving evocation of an area that I know only fleetingly from passing through but feel much closer to from music and literature.
