Summary:

The second of two consecutive exhibitions celebrating the tenth anniversary of Pier 24 Photography highlights a selection of photographers collected by the Pilara Foundation over the past decade. ... Many of the featured photographers address the human condition in the twenty-first century. Tabitha Soren reflects on how we relate to others and the mass media we consume in an era dominated by digital technology. Tania Franco Klein depicts anonymous characters in cinematic worlds pervaded by feelings of isolation and disconnection, where ambiguity undermines any perceived narrative. Todd Hido juxtaposes ethereal pictures of romantic landscapes with scenes of industrial development and devastation caused by wildfires. Erica Deeman, Zanele Muholi, Eva O'Leary, and Chanell Stone examine contemporary identity politics. Deeman's portraits of men from the African diaspora speak to the social constructs of identity, gender, and race. Muholi's evocative self-portraits integrating everyday objects redress inequalities in representation in portraiture by forefronting black, queer, and trans narratives in their native South Africa. O'Leary's tender portraits of adolescent and college-age women focus on how the self-images of young women--informed by the media and societal expectations--shape their projected identities. And Stone creates intimate self-portraits, still lifes, and landscapes that explore the black body's relationship to nature--overlooked urban environments in particular--claiming the natural world as a site for reconciliation and reprieve Pier 24 Photography's long-standing dedication to collecting work related to the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Area is also prominent ... -- From Pier 24 Photography website.
