Inhaltsangabe

'When two or more are gathered together' del fotografo Neal Slavin è la riedizione a cinquant'anni di distanza del suo libro pubblicato nel 1976 sulla serie dei ritratti di gruppo. Incuriosito fin dai primi anni Settanta dalle dinamiche sociali di gruppo e sulle motivazioni alla base della loro formazione, Slavin è stato, insieme a Stephen Shore e William Eggleston, tra i primi a sperimentare la fotografia a colori. Questa serie, che si collocava al contempo tra l'esperimento sociale e l'espediente funzionale di nonsense, fu particolarmente apprezzata per le sue sorprendenti intuizioni sulla vita sociale americana. Cinquant'anni dopo, alla vigilia delle elezioni presidenziali, gli Stati Uniti sono ancora alle prese con profonde divisioni sociali e disordini politici, testimoniando l'attualità delle dinamiche di gruppo. La riedizione di 'When two or more are gathered together' include scatti inediti di Slavin, nuove fotografie realizzate fino al 2023 e un saggio dello storico dell'arte Kevin Moore.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This expanded fifty-year anniversary edition of When Two or More Are Gathered Together revisits the question of social unity in the United States and includes new subjects-dogs, fencers and chambermaids-some photographed as recently as 2023.

Neal Slavin began taking group portraits in the early 1970s, intrigued by the social dynamics of groups and the motivations behind their formation. While the pictures themselves were most often posed, Slavin instructed his subjects to arrange themselves, allowing natural hierarchies and indications of status to emerge. When the series was first published in 1974, it was recognized as an instant landmark in the emerging field of color photography, a field that included photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Regarded as something of a deadpan stunt, yet framed as a serious social experiment, When Two or More Are Gathered Together was appreciated for its surprising insights into American social life. Fifty years later, on the eve of a presidential election, the United States grapples with profound social division and political unrest.
An essay by art historian Kevin Moore offers historical context for this timely and relevant body of early color photography.
