'Closer' is an immersion in Elinor Carucci's world. Recipient of the International Center for Photography's 2001 Infinity Award for Young Photographer, Elinor Carucci is a rising New York photographer.
Surveying the breadth of her work, this book is the first monograph from Carucci, who has been described by Susan Kismari, curator of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, as "giving the opportunity [through her photographs] to contemplate just how transient our existence is, and how connected we are".
Revealing fragments of her life through nearly 100 full colour family portraits, self portraits and affecting abstractions. 'Closer' ranges from the ethereal to the erotic, and is at once intensely personal and universal. Emotionally honest and flooded with colour, 'Closer' portrays the intimate emotions and life of this up and coming artist.
