What Remains

Streaming video - 2006

As one of the world’s preeminent photographers, Sally Mann creates artwork that challenges viewers’ values and moral attitudes. Described by Time magazine as “America's greatest photographer,” she first came to international prominence in 1992 with “Immediate Family,” a series of complex and enigmatic pictures of her own children. WHAT REMAINS returns to follow the creation of Mann’s new seminal work: a photo series revolving around various aspects of death and decay. Never one to compromise, Sally Mann reflects on her own personal feelings toward death as she continues to examine the boundaries of contemporary photography. Spanning five years, WHAT REMAINS contains unbridled access to the many stages of Mann’s work, an...d is a rare glimpse of an eloquent and brilliant artist. *"...the most exquisitely intimate portraits not only of an artist's process, but also of a marriage and a life, to appear on television in recent memory." - Ginia Bellafante, **The New York Times*** more
