Sally Mann: A Matter of Time

On view now in Stockholm, A Matter of Time presents nearly five decades of Mann’s work. Her subjects have ranged from her children and animals, her surroundings, the overarching concept of mortality, and the conflicted beauty of the deep South, to her intimate portraits of her husband, suffering from the ravages of a wasting muscle disease. In her Self-Portrait [2012] she produces painterly and nearly abstract images, juxtaposing mortality and immortality. But, through all the subjects, Mann stays true to her theme, her quest of exploring the transitory nature of life. A Matter of Time will be on view until September 30, 2012 at Fotografiska, Stadsgårdshamnen 22, 116 45 Stockholm
