Description

Published by Mousse Publishing in 2019, this monograph documents LaToya Ruby Frazier’s first solo institutional exhibitions in Italy and Luxembourg. The book provides a critical overview of Frazier’s multidisciplinary practice, which uses the camera to investigate the social, political, and economic conditions of marginalized communities in the United States. From her seminal “The Notion of Family” series to her more recent investigations into environmental racism in Flint, Michigan, the volume explores how Frazier’s work acts as a form of visual activism and historical preservation. With contributions from international scholars, the catalogue examines the artist’s use of her own family history as a microcosm for the larger systemic failures of industrial capitalism, making it an essential reference for understanding the “politics of visibility” in contemporary art.
