Beschreibung
Piercing the Darkness is the second monograph of the American photographer Susan S. Bank. Her first monograph, Cuba: Campo Adentro, a portrait of daily life of Cuban tobacco farmers and their families, was selected as “One of the Best Photography Books of the Year” PHotoEspaña 2009. A selection from her Havana portfolio, Piercing the Darkness was exhibited in “The History of Photography of the City of Havana” at the Habana Bienal 2006. The photographs in this book were made in Cuba between the years 1999 and 2009. Susan Bank’s choice of black-and-white film in a place so full of shades of color represents her understanding that less information can indeed, increase the power of the images. That and her choice of camera and lens unify this body of work. Bank’s work is collected by museums, most recently The Creative Center for Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson. She collaborated with curators, Ricardo Viera and Margarita Aguilar, for the traveling exhibition Viajeros: North American Artists/Photographers’ Images of Cuba.
