This is a book of remarkable images - intense
and intimate - recording the photographer's children as they explore
their woodland home in Virginia. The striking photographs show the
ambiguities and dramas of family life, hauntingly evoking the mysteries
of childhood. All of the photographs in Immediate Family were taken with an 8" x 10" view camera.
As
Sally Mann herself says in the introduction: 'These are photographs of
my children … many of these pictures are intimate, some are fictions and
some are fantastic, but most are of ordinary things every mother has
seen. I take pictures when they are bloodied or sick or naked or angry.
They dress up, they pout and posture, they paint their bodies, they dive
like otters in the dark river.'
The result is a book that is
ethereal, tender and sometimes eerily disquieting: a distinctly human
work - at once personal and universal - that is magnetically seductive.
