Taryn Simon stellt ihren außergewöhnlichen fotografischen Ansatz vor -- Welten und Menschen zu zeigen, die wir sonst nie zu sehen bekämen. Sie präsentiert zwei Projekte: eines dokumentiert abseitige Orte, die normalerweise vor der Öffentlichkeit geheimgehalten werden, das andere beinhaltet eindringliche Portraits von Männern, die für Verbrechen verurteilt wurden, die sie nicht begangen haben.

With a large-format camera and a knack for talking her way into forbidden zones, Taryn Simon photographs portions of the American infrastructure inaccessible to its inhabitants. Full bio »
