What Matters Most : Photographs of Black LifeTools Martin, Dawn Lundy; Moten, Fred; Harney, Stefano. What Matters Most : Photographs of Black Life. Munich, Germany: DelMonico Books / Prestel Publishing; Toronto, Ont.: Art Gallery of Ontario/Musée des beaux-arts de l'Ontario, 2022.
Abstract (English)"Thoughtfully illustrated, this volume highlights a selection of photographs of African American family life between the 1970s and the early 2000s—pictures that were lost by their original owners and then found by the artist Zun Lee on a street in Detroit in 2012, marking the beginning of the Fade Resistance collection of more than 4,000 Polaroids. Lee describes the collection as an important record of Black visual self-representation and a means to “reflect the way Black people saw themselves on their terms—without the intention of being seen, or judged, by others.” To Lee, these powerful photographs are an expression of “Black life mattering.”" -- Distributor's website.
