This hardback edition of Closer: Photographs by Elinor Carucci is the first monograph by this recipient of the prestigious International Center for Photography s 2001 Infinity Award for Best Young Photographer. Carucci is renowned for sensuous portraits of her family and herself and Closer reveals the breadth of her work, from the erotic to the ethereal-exposing an emotionally honest world flooded with colour. An immersion into the intimate world of the artist and her family, fragments of her life are revealed through 90 full-colour family portraits, self-portraits and artful abstractions, making Closer a daring portrayal of this artist's intimate emotional geography. At once intensely personal yet universally accessible, these photographs reflect the colours, forms and details of everyday life.
