Oh Man

Viac o knihe

In her new monograph, acclaimed French photographer Lise Safarti (born 1958) transports readers to the oddly deserted--or, rather, almost deserted--streets of Los Angeles. Lonesome men stand or walk through each of the images, passing by as if on a mission. As Sean O'Hagan writes in the Observer, -Safarti's photographs, though deceptively simple on first viewing, have a mysterious quality that is to do, in part, with her deft merging of portraiture, snapshot and arranged tableau.- With an accompanying text by David Campany, this new monograph is a thoughtful, quiet but moving tribute to an outsider's Los Angeles.
