“Photographer Sally Mann explores what it means to be Southern. For more than 40 years, Mann has made experimental, hauntingly beautiful photographs that address overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, and the bonds of family.
This internationally traveling exhibition investigates how Mann’s relationship with her native Virginia, a place rich in literary and artistic traditions yet troubled by history, has shaped her work. Featuring over 120 images organized into five sections—family, landscape, battlefields, legacy, mortality — A Thousand Crossings shows how the American South emerges within Mann’s work as a powerful and provocative force that continues to shape American identity and experience.”
