Inhaltsangabe

My Friend from Memphis presents Huger Foote's latest body of work. He uses a unique printing process - the pigment transfer method - to achieve unequalled colour and depth in his prints. This collection of images, shot in Memphis, Africa, London and Paris, extracts from the most ordinary settings and scenes [a launderette, a burger joint, a flower shop] a geometry of formal relationships previously unnoticed. His vision is tuned in to shape, colour and line.
Behind the apparent tranquillity of his photos, lies a personal story. Foote was shot during a car-jacking in his hometown of Memphis. In retrospect, he credits this event with awakening his artistic voice. His convalescence gave him the breathing space to rethink his art.
My Friend from Memphis comprises approximately 100 colour photographs, accompanied by three essays from writer Susan Minot, photographer William Eggleston, film director Bernardo Bertolucci and Richard Serra the sculptor, each commenting on Foote's work. Huger Foote, son of civil war historian Shelby Foote, has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles and throughout the USA. His work has appeared in Double Take, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Details, Interview and other publications.
