Taryn Simon - A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters

Taryn Simon is an artist whose practice typifies a kind of journalistic engagement with documentary photography. Simon’s work has consistently relied on a concept realised through heavy research and systematic ordering and presentation. Her latest work: ‘A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters’ consists of a four year long project of research, documenting and compiling eighteen stories of individuals whose circumstances have affected the fate of their genealogy or bloodlines.
