Sally Mann, Sarah Greenough, and Sarah Kennel
A Thousand Crossings
In this video, Sally Mann speaks with curators Sarah Greenough and Sarah Kennel on the occasion of her exhibition A Thousand Crossings at the Jeu de Paume, Paris. Discussing the themes of the exhibition, which focuses on Mann’s relationship to the American South, they speak about her pictures’ articulation of memory, love, the bonds of family, and nature. Mann describes her experimental process and technique across subject matter, ranging from figure studies to still lifes and landscapes, and the role of “felicitous accidents” and “serendipitous moments” in her photographs.
