Photography Changes Everything

Jeff Mermelstein

Inspired by his bizarre encounters with the odd and the unusual in Asbury Park, New Jersey, made famous by Bruce Springsteen, Mermelstein vigorously prowled the streets of New York City in the mid-1980s, snapping up scenes of vivid colour, glitz, artifice and unrelenting ugliness. Attracted to the surreal and outlandish, including everything from dog shows to grand openings of malls, Mermelstein took his project across the decades and across the country, resulting in this bizarre catalogue of the wacky, quirky, oddly lyrical sights of America. 75 full-colour photos.

No Title Here

In Disquiet, New York-based photographer Amani Willett (born 1975) weaves intimate family pictures with broader portrayals of American society and its current economic and political instability. Taken between 2010 and 2012, Willett's portraits, landscapes and still lives record the anxieties of starting a family in a time of social unrest.

Disquiet

Goldin charts the loss of innocence through barrooms and parties on the social periphery of New York's East Village and through the harrowing worlds of drugs and prostitution. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends, and lovers--collectively described by Nan Goldin as her "tribe." Her work describes a world that is visceral, charged, and seething with life . . . . As Goldin writes: "Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound, and physical presence, the density and flavor of life."
