Aperture 162

Portfolios and Essays from Sally Mann, Véronique Vienne and Philip Gefter, Nick Waplington, Richard Misrach and Jason Berry, Mary Walling Blackburn, David Levi Strauss and Leon Golub.

Issue 162 features previously unpublished work by some of photography’s most masterful and remarkable artists, including Richard Misrach’s Cancer Alley photographs—a disturbing look at environmental destruction in the American south.

Also here are Sally Mann’s stunning photographs of her daughter Jessie. These mostly previously unpublished images, depicting Jessie’s transformation from child to adult, are accompanied by an interview in which she discusses being photographed throughout her life. Nick Waplington’s fabricated website images provide an ironic look at the implications of the free flowing, often incendiary information that proliferates on the internet. Other features include Shooting Blind—work by a New York-based collective of visually impaired photographers—and a dialogue between David Levi Strauss and painter/longtime political activist Leon Golub concerning his use of photographs for inspiration in his work.

Photographs by: Stephen Crowley, James Estrin, Angel Franco, Paul Hosefros, Kevin Lamarque, Chang W. Lee, Sally Mann, Richard Misrach, Sylvia Plachy, Librado Romero, Rick T. Wilking
