In considering Photography's role in establishing, manipulating, and perhaps controlling the ideas of "normal" or "good" - I thought of my friend Esther's recent work entitled Know Your Place. A series of stark images about the role assigned to Korean women. This is an evolving definition, of course, but one that I personally resonated with.
Here, in two parts, is our discussion about the relationship between photography, expression, race, and representation.
