Sandy Skoglund

An important monograph, curated by Germano Celant, dedicated to American artist Sandy Skoglund (1946), which accompanies her first anthological exhibition set up in the rooms of CAMERA in Turin, Italy. The book retraces the entire path of the artist interweaving her biography with her professional progress, documented with the reproduction of her entire oeuvre. From the first photographic series produced in the mid-seventies to the great compositions of the early eighties, up until the brand new Winter, which the artist has been working on for over ten years: visionary and surreal works, which arise from the meticulous construction of a set that the artist then photographs, in a process that explains the rarefied production of the artist and the peculiarity of her visual path, merging installation, sculpture and photography. A path that confirms the uniqueness of her research and artistic language, formed in a fully conceptual manner to evolve into an imaginary universe of extraordinary evocative power, suspended between dream and reality.
