Synopsis
In this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange’s extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred around the figure of the day sleeper – at once a symbol of respite and oblivion. The book shows us one artist through the eyes of another, with Contis responding to resonances between her and Lange’s ways of seeing. It reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, and includes previously unseen photographs of her family, portraiture from her studio, and pictures made in the streets of San Francisco and the East Bay.

About the Authors
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) est née à Hoboken, dans le New Jersey, et a passé sa vie d’adulte dans le nord de la Californie. Après avoir commencé sa carrière comme portraitiste, elle a beaucoup photographié pour la Farm Security Administration. En 1939, elle publie An American Exodus (avec Paul S. Taylor), suivi de Death of a Valley (avec Pirkle Jones) en 1960. Dorothea Lange : ‘Words and Pictures’ ouvrira ses portes au MoMA en février 2020. Ce sera la première exposition complète de son travail au musée depuis sa rétrospective posthume en 1966.
Sam Contis (né en 1982) vit en Californie. Son travail a récemment été présenté dans ‘Being: New Photography’ au MoMA, et dans des expositions à Ratio 3, San Francisco et Klaus von Nichtssagend, New York. En 2020, ses photographies seront exposées au Barbican Centre, à Londres. Son premier livre, Deep Springs, a été publié par MACK en 2017.

The Observer\n\n'An ingenious new monograph, plumbing the unconscious of Lange's oeuvre to dream her work anew.' Bookforum\n\n'Sam Contis has made a book, a collaboration with Lange really, from pictures she unearthed What was once plainly political has become familial, casual, intimate, or all of those together, and then back round to political again.' London Review of Books\n\nIn this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred around the figure of the day sleeper at once a symbol of respite and oblivion.
