For more information: bindlestiff. eve...@gmail. com ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- About the Book “One of the best books of 2008” - Art in America “Ms. Strauss’s images are not without tenderness, but their harsh, unblinking force is a bit like a punch in the face.” -- New York Times Philadelphia native Zoe Strauss has brought us searing images of our city’s marginalized people and places on the fringe of society. Her new book, America, has taken her no-holds-barred, up close and personal style of photography on the road across our country. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss’s 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 30th 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 highway, that has garnered a devoted following. This is the first monograph of this incredibly talented and prolific photographer.
