Remembering Songs
Jim C. Nedd ranks among the most captivating photographers of his generation. Remembering Songs, Neddâs debut monograph, culminates six years photographing his native Colombia in over 300 full-color reproductions, featuring an introduction by Beatriz E. Balanta and an interview with the artist by Octavia BĂŒrgel. A delicate balance of staged and documentary photography, Neddâs distinct visual language is spun from local mythologies, personal nostalgia and speculative fiction. Vivid, deliberately theatrical scenes of ceremonies and other convivial environments are offset by intimate portraits cast in stark shadow or otherwise opacified. The tension between personal and universal experience is mobilized as a formal sensibility in Neddâs work, evoking an uncanny potency reminiscent of the Latin American narrative tradition of magical realism.Â
Remembering Songs is a PAN Monograph. The project additionally received support from the Italian Cultural Institute of BogotĂ . Â
