FROM YALE UNIVERSITY EVENTS
Join us for a book launch celebrating the release of Slippages: Photographs by Linda Cummings, a landmark publication of photographs by artist Linda Cummings, published by Skira. The book showcases 70 high-quality duotone images spanning the decade between the millennium (1992 to 2002) and the waning of analog photography. Cummings’ compositions toss expectations to the wind, transposing gender dynamics with a slight of hand.
The images convey Cummings’ innovative approach to photographic narrative through actions performed and photographed by the artist on site, in locations as varied as steel mills, coal mines, churches, hospitals and stadiums, many long since disappeared. The photographs express the artist’s defiance, exuberance and anxiety amidst the upheavals of a declining industrial age and dawning of the digital era.
