Description

In “Close Relations,” acclaimed photographer Henry Horenstein presents his earliest body of work, captured between 1970 and 1973. This intimate collection serves as a visual memoir, documenting Horenstein’s transition from adolescence to adulthood while preserving a specific slice of American suburban life. The photographs feature a warm and quirky cast of characters—including his own parents, his stylish “turn-of-the-seventies” friends known as Hot Dot and Fast Fred, and a recurring series of family dogs all named Chamie. Influenced by his background as a history student, Horenstein approaches his personal circle with the eye of a documentarian, creating a poignant and humorous record of a bygone era where the classic American Dream coexists with the eccentricities of the 1970s.
