Synopsis

Fifty years after Robert Frank's seminal book The Americans was released, Zoe Strauss' own AMERICA breaks new ground. The Philadelphia native-who has brought us searing images of that city's marginalized
people and places on the fringe of society-has taken her no-holdsbarred, up-close-and-personal style of photography on the road across the underbelly of America. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss' photographs of the beauty and struggle of everyday life resonate as a social document of our time and as sheer and powerful art. Her images underscore an America that, more often than not, goes unseen. Zoe Strauss had never picked up a camera before her thirtieth birthday but in these recent years has generated a huge body of work that has been recognized and exhibited in the Whitney Biennial, as well as New York's Bruce Silverstein Gallery, and garnered her a United States Artists grant and a Gund Fellowship. Additionally, Ms. Strauss creates a yearly public exhibit called Under I-95, beneath Philadelphia's interstate, that has attracted a devoted following. This is the first monograph from an incredibly talented and prolific photographer.
