Summary: Like the Mennonites and the Amish, the Hutterites are farmers -- and very successful ones. All three religious communities have resisted modernity in religion, social affairs, and family life, but the Hutterites use state-of-the-art equipment and progressive methods of agriculture. Their self-imposed isolation and predominantly self-sufficient lifestyle have enabled them to preserve their traditional customs. Photographs of them are rare, and non-Hutterites are considered "outsiders". Kristin Capp's photos deal primarily with themes of memory, history, gender, and role. She has focused upon objects and motifs in states of transition, on the themes of new and old. Unconcerned with "cataloging", she has devoted herself rather to refining and intensifying her approach to these subjects. 4 Kg.
