Nearly a decade in the making, Father Country I Do Love You traces the life of an unnamed federal agent through 42 chapters, bringing together hundreds of photographs, text, video, and sculpture. In this labyrinth of stories, Taryn Simon uncovers the ripple effects of her protagonist’s actions and inactions, intertwining accounts of victims, predators, survivors, and the mechanics of justice. This narrative is shadowed by the life of Simon’s father, who lived in Thailand and traveled to Russia, Iran, Israel, China, Afghanistan, Korea, and elsewhere while working for the U.S. government, before ending his career manufacturing and selling arcade games. Simon never got his full story, but America, he always said, was the best story on earth, if you could find someone to tell it.
With Who’s there?, Lars Eidinger presents the third part of his photographic trilogy on humanity and existence. Captured in metropolises such as Berlin, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, and Istanbul, his photographs weave everyday observations with existential questions. The new photo book by Lars Eidinger is accompanied by an essay by philosopher Peter Sloterdijk.
