Closer

Closer: Photographs by Elinor Carucci is the first monograph by this recipient of the prestigious International Center for Photography’s 2001 Infinity Award for Best Young Photographer. Carucci is renowned for sensuous portraits of her family and herself, and Closer reveals the breadth of her work, from the erotic to the ethereal-exposing an emotionally honest world flooded with color. Fragments of her life are revealed through 90 full-color family portraits, self-portraits, and artful abstractions, making Closer a daring portrayal of this up-and-coming artist’s intimate emotional geography.
