Description

Got to Go is a poignant and audacious “tragicomedy” by the celebrated American photographer Rosalind Fox Solomon. Published by MACK, the book serves as a unique work of auto-fiction, blending a sparse, unsentimental narrative of her early years as a daughter and wife with 79 stark black-and-white images from her global travels. The book investigates the “net” of biography—the social codes and inherited tenets that shape our selfhood—and follows Solomon’s journey as she breaks free to pursue a career in art. Through portraits of the bizarre and the beautiful, Solomon explores the dissonant chords within human relationships and the brutal, unvarnished reality of aging and survival. It remains a masterclass in introspective photography and a vital document of one of the 20th century’s most uncompromising visual voices.
