Summary: For more than 40 years, Sally Mann has made experimental, elegiac, and hauntingly beautiful photographs that explore the overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, the bonds of family, and nature's magisterial indifference to human endeavor. What unites this broad body of work - portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and other studies - is that it is all 'bred of a place', the American South. Mann, who is a native of Lexington, Virginia, has long written about what it means to live in the South and to be identified as a Southerner. Organised into five sections - family, landscape, battlefields, legacy, and mortality - and including many works not previously exhibited or published, 'A Thousand Crossings' is a sweeping overview of Mann's artistic achievement of the past four decades.
