Staged conflict

Carrie Mae Weems, A Class Ponders the Future, 2008

I conflitti sociali e razziali, trasformati in staged photography, video e installazioni multimediali, sono sempre stati al centro del lavoro di Carrie Mae Weems.
Constructing History. A Requiem to Mark the Moment è il titolo del suo ultimo libro (anche qui), dove rimette in scena momenti chiave della storia recente in forma di installazioni in interni, ironiche e ambigue icone del nostro presente.

Qui una lista dei libri della Weems, qui altre immagini.

Social and racial conflicts made into staged photographs, videos and multimedia installations have always been the core of Carrie Mae Weems' work.
Constructing History. A Requiem to Mark the Moment is the name of her latest book (a look inside here), where she restages key moments of our recent history as indoor installations, ironic and ambiguous icons of our time.

A list of Weems' books here, more images here.
