The Story
Publisher : Aperture
'In Strange Hours : Photography, Memory, and the Lives of Artists', Rebecca Bengal considers the photographers who have defined our relationship to the medium. Through generous essays and interviews, she contemplates photographyâs narrative power, from the radical intimacy of Nan Goldinâs New York demimonde to Justine Kurlandâs pictures of rebel girls on the open road. Bengal brings us closer to pioneering artists and the personal and political stories surrounding their images.
She travels with Alec Soth in Minneapolis, searching for the houses where Prince once lived, and revisits Chauncey Hareâs 1979 protest against the Museum of Modern Art. She speaks with Dawoud Bey about his evocative portraits and explores Diana Markosianâs cinematic take on her familyâs immigration to the US. Throughout Strange Hours, Bengalâs prose is attuned to the alchemy of experience, chance, and vision that has always pushed photographyâs potential for unforgettable storytelling.
