1 year agoTim Barber’s Elusive Young People
Tim Barber, former photo editor at Vice and the man behind the online gallery tinyvices.com, has a new book out called “Untitled Photographs.” This compilation of snapshots, which Barber took over the course of fifteen years, is perhaps best summed up by Miranda July, who writes the intro:
What you have here are a few categories of pictures. One category I would maybe call Young People who, from the look of things, just had intercourse, right before or after the picture was taken. Next there is the category, I don’t know what to call it, but Tim seems to have not been able to catch the person in the viewfinder, which is bound to happen, and will probably happen less and less often as he gets more experienced. I will say that he gets an A for effort on these because looking at them, you can almost tell that a person just left or was just about to get there.

We see the racial, gender, class and political dimensions of personal life as fundamental to understanding contemporary circumstances. We believe in the necessity to critically examine what passes as common sense, to question what is postulated as self-evident, to dissipate what is familiar and accepted.
