A wide-angle view capturing four of the six large portraits in the central octagon.
On the landscape
We popped the structure up for a sneak preview in Crested Butte, Colorado, and hundreds of people came!
Layers...
It's a dream come true to see Iranian faces superimposed on the American landscape. This is a photograph through one of the translucent panels.
Visitors
This American couple just realized that the slide the boys are playing on is designed to resemble a helicopter gunship. It's been a controversial image in the installation!
Archway
A young visitor exits from the corridor between the two octagons.
I live in Crested Butte, Colorado, but don’t have the sense to base my work there. I have been shooting with film since my father entrusted four-year-old me with a Kodak Instamatic camera. I began shooting digital cameras three decades later. I studied English literature and filmmaking at Dartmouth College.
My project, “Hurricane Katrina: After the Flood,” comprised medium-format slides documenting the devastation in New Orleans one year after the storm. The effort raised thousands of dollars for the Greater New Orleans Foundation’s rebuilding fund.
My “Red Hot Ladies” calendar featured semi-nude portraits of community activists opposing a molybdenum mine.
I recently received a special mention from the Banff Film Festival for my photograph, “All that dies,” captured with Hasselblad’s Xpan II panoramic rangefinder camera.
My current project, “pictures of you: Images from Iran,” is a traveling outdoor multimedia installation featuring portraits of Iranian citizens printed on translucent silk. Images from the show, and my previous work, can be seen on my website: www.manjushriproject.org.
