Items related to Lise Sarfati: The New Life
A series of 50 photographs by French photographer Lise Sarfati. The photographs were taken in cities like Austin, Asheville, Portland, Berkeley, Oakland,Los Angeles, New Orleans and some small towns in Georgia. In each of these portraits, Lise Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identity; within unfamiliar territory - both emotionally and physically - where the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel.

About the Author:
Lise Sarfati (b.1958) studied Russian at the Sorbonne in Paris before taking up photography. During the 1990s she won many major photography awards for her photographs of Russia. She became an associate member of Magnum Photos in 1999.
Review:
In each of these portraits, Lise Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identity; within unfamiliar territory-both emotionally and physically-where the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel. We are talking here of a kind of parallel reality, an interstitial territory which doesn't understand geographical spaces or political systems, which no longer belongs either to a completely real reality or to a consciously conceived fiction, but rather finds itself fed by its own rituals and codes of behaviour, where the dividing line between good and bad, happiness and sadness, innocence and perversity or reality and fantasy is extensively blurred.

This first was edition limited to 3500 hardbound copies. New in New dust jacket (opened only for signature). From the publisher: "Though undeniably photodocumentary in nature, Sarfati's work is defined through an opposition to the editorial urge to fix narratives to her subjects. Her images create a loose, layered and intensely rich visual project that allows us, the viewers, to consider the complexities of any place or time, triggering emotions and thoughts that move well beyond the ostensible subjects of her photographs. Sarfati's importance in today's debates about the role and visual languages of socially engaged photography also rests in her resistance to fully objectify the subjects that compel her to make imagery.[H]er choice to record young people in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon and California, on the cusp of adult responsibility, could be construed as the latest addition to contemporary photography's familiar interest with this highly photogenic stage of human life. The American Series represents one of those rare experiences for photographers that is impossible to simulate or confidently repeat, where the photographs almost -- just -- happened. Sarfati did not overly choreograph her young subjects and, instead, was carried by her own adage that by creating, she was exploring and understanding them. While her presence acted upon these young people, she also created the psychological space for them, in turn, to act upon her and to act up -- or down -- for the camera. This perhaps accounts for Sarfati's success in re-presenting American young people as, simply, individually and universally the carriers of states of minds. Her acute compositional sense combined with an instinctive feel for colour, texture and contrast creates a physical and psychological space which is both engaging and, ultimately, elusive. -Clare Grafik, Photographers Gallery, London" Signed by Author.
