Richard Misrach - On the Beach by Rosecrans Baldwin
From the website: Richard Misrach's new book On The Beach (Aperture) puts the dread back into sunbathing. Perhaps it's that people are so small in Misrach's pictures next to the dunes and waves, or that we're so trivial. As Misrach notes in our talk below, "After the national trauma of 9/11, everything looked different to me, including how I saw people at leisure. Even the simplest and most innocent of human gestures suggested a vulnerability and fragility that I had not noticed before."
