| | | Anastasia Samoylova & Walker Evans: FloridasEdited with text by David Campany. Text by Lauren Groff.
 A photo-dialogue on Florida past and presentSunshine state. Swampland paradise. Tourist aspiration. Real-estate racket. Refuge of excess. Political swing-state. Sub-tropical fever dream. With forms of nature and culture found nowhere else, Florida is unique. It is also among the most elusive and misunderstood of places. Anastasia Samoylova (born 1984) has photographed Florida on intensive road trips. Walker Evans (1903–75) photographed it over four decades. Twisting the visual clichés, these two remarkably discerning observers convey Florida’s dizzying combination of fantasy and reality.
Evans witnessed modern Florida emerging in the 1930s, with its blend of cultures, waves of tourism, stark beauty and blatant vulgarity. He photographed there until the 1970s, making Polaroids that still feel contemporary. Samoylova inherits what Evans saw coming. With intelligence and humor, she picks her way through the seductions and disappointments of a place that symbolizes the contradictions of the United States today. In Floridas, photographs by Samoylova and Evans are presented in parallel, weaving past and present, switching between black-and-white and color imagery, all complemented by an essay from editor David Campany and a visionary short story by celebrated novelist and Florida resident Lauren Groff.

Flaunt Through Floridas, Samoylova captures the Florida that Evans witnessed the unequivocal originations of. Weaving the past and the Photograph Elisabeth Biondi In her travels across the state, she has captured Florida’s idiosyncrasies in a variety of modes: some of the photographs are compact and succinct, others are multi-layered and obscure. Some are vaguely romantic. The final effect is much like Florida, complicated and hard to define. Smithsonian Jeff Campagna Weaving black and white with color photographs filled with layers and light, the sequence can often seem dreamlike, but the two versions of Florida documented in?Floridas?are very real. The New York Times Book Review Lucy Sante The two photographers share an appreciation for the collage-like incongruities the state seems to offer in abundance, for the degree of artifice that produces them and the pictorial flatness they generate. But where Evans was chronicling a Florida on the verge of expansion from tourism and construction, Samoylova shows us a state already battered by climate change, not to mention overbuilding. |
