| "In the summers of 2009 and 2010 Cass Bird went to Sassafrass, Tennessee, with a group of young women, a clutch of wafty dresses, and a camera. The women had been "curated" by the photographer for their beauty, their humor, and their fluid and button-pushing notions of sexual identity—of one, Bird told me, "she's so queer it's like beyond queer," which meant that the subject was prone to sleeping with gay men; of another, Bird said, "she's a clone fucker," which meant that this subject only slept with boys and girls who looked just like her. These were women—studio assistants and pals and girls cast from the New York streets—who were confident in their erotic lives, but more than a little uncomfortable in front of the lens. This grey area, between swagger and self consciousness, is what drew Bird in."—Sally Singer, excerpted from the Foreword to Rewilding. | NEW PHOTOGRAPHY Edited by Françoise Poos.

| | | Cass Bird: RewildingText by Sally Singer, Jack Halberstam. Over the past ten years, Cass Bird (born 1974) has established herself as one of the foremost portraitists of contemporary America. Her photographs of young women and men casually draw attention to the fluid expression of gender roles and androgyny in today’s youth culture, and to what she has described as “the convergence of alternative lifestyles with accepted conceptions of motherhood, nurturing and family.” In the summers of 2009 and 2010, Bird traveled to Sassafrass, Tennessee, with a group of young women, a wardrobe of diaphanous dresses and a camera. These women--studio assistants, friends, or women cast from the streets of New York--had been selected by Bird for their ease with their sexual identities, but also for their relative awkwardness in front of the lens. The result was Rewilding, a joyous portrait of modern femininity and a frolicking celebration of women’s camaraderie.
