Tabitha Soren myFIVE
Tabitha Soren explores the expansive power of photography by pushing its material limits and embracing its unreliable nature. She probes the surface of the photograph to unlock the rich history of the medium and experiments with sculptural and painterly interventions to further complicate the inherent uncertainty of the source. This layered approach underscores not only the bounds of the viewer’s perception but also makes visible the psychological states of Soren’s subject matter, creating a tension between what is seen and what lies underneath.
A visual artist in different domains for over twenty-five years, Soren has long explored the intersection of psychology, culture, politics, and the body. Her mediated images examine the vulnerabilities we all carry and provide the outline for a narrative still endlessly unfolding. Whether capturing solitary individuals running through empty streets, harnessing the sublime power of the natural world, or obscuring violent scenes with a dense application of ink and resin, Soren calls forth the underlying and pervasive energy that propels a twist of fate, upends a story, and challenges a belief. She never lets the viewer forget that there is something looming just outside of the frame- maybe a threat, a dashed hope, an unfair assumption, or an impending change in fortune- that deserves respect and consideration.
www.tabithasoren.com
Though a palpable sense of pathos connects all her images, Soren begins each new series using the methodical investigative tools she used during her time in journalism. Books, research studies, and statistics lay a necessary analytical foundation for the visual ideas she communicates. These data points then merge with her experiences growing up in a military family, spending her youth moving around the world and adjusting to the cultural differences, social structures, and visual cues that came with each relocation. This constant navigation of environments hinged on threat and survival led to a true understanding of what it means to always live on high alert, giving Soren a level of empathy for internal struggle and a sincere desire to show the myriad ways we reveal ourselves as we move through the world.
Soren was born in 1967 in San Antonio, Texas and lived in 7 U.S. states, Germany and the Philippines during her formative and adolescent years. She received her degree in 1989 from New York University and was awarded a fellowship from Stanford University in 1997. Solo exhibitions of her work have been organized at Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, CA; Transformer Station, Cleveland, OH; The Davis Museum, Wellesley, MA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis, IN; Oakland Museum of California, and others. Select group exhibitions include SFMOMA, San Francisco, CA. , Perez Art Museum, Miami, FL, Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, Bentonville, AK, Pier 24 Photography, San Francisco, CA; The Worcester Art Museum, MA; Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Aperture Gallery, New York, NY; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, CA; The Photographer’s Gallery, London, UK; the New Orleans Museum of Art, LA; and the Ogden Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA.
Soren’s work is in many private and public collections including the National Gallery in Washington DC, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the DeYoung Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Art, Museum of Fine Art Houston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, Harvard Art Museums, the Oakland Museum of California, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the George Eastman Museum, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Her work has been written about in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Hyperallergic, ArtNews, The Boston Globe, British Journal of Photography, Newsweek, and the Guardian among others. Books include Fantasy Life (Aperture), Trace (Yoffy Press) and Surface Tension (RVB Books). She currently lives and works in Berkeley, California.

Great interview. I would be happy to see her again and have her talk about more images that she finds important in her artistic process. I like all of her choices.
Isn't she great?!?
Great !! Great !! Great!! :) :) :)
We appreciate your enthusiasm! Thank you
One of your better interviews so far. A great artist and a very articulate one….good decision to allow her more time and latitude to speak. Well done!
Thank you
Stephen is awesome! Great interview!
Thanks. We agree
Ella Watson is the name of the cleaning lady.
Yes, thank you so much.
Good episode. Very interesting guest. I enjoyed hearing his perspective and seeing the photographs that he selected. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
What a joy to meet Mr. Eubanks. I knew about Gordon Parks and his work but did not know about the other photographers. Thank you for this episode. After 40+ years of photography, I learn everyday that I have so much more to learn. The presented images are sublime. Reminds me of going through B&W images from my parent's life in the 50's and 60's. Images had so much more meaning.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@TheCritHouse Rock on my friend. You are on to something big here. I have told many of my friends to subscribe. Your channel and content is very unique and inspirational.
Thanks so much.
That was interesting. Thank you for including guests that may not directly be photographers but rather have viewpoints about photographs.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
photos are Not posed. I was in NYC during that time and around those characters but never thought of taking pictures, She did, thank you, Nan. her life with that crazy family....lucky she took another road out.
Thanks Judy.
Berlin, Germany exhibition, This will not end well , Nan Goldin, 2024 - a must see at Neues national gallery
We wish we could go.
I had the opportunity to attend one of Christen exhibitions and I loved her black and white pictures it’s an eye catching piece of art ❤
Very nice.
Thank you, Delilah and Jeff, for this brilliant and inspiring episode.
Thank you, Mr. Crowley. High praise.
An especially inspiring episode. Thank you Delilah for the images and the great educational lesson. Thanks Jeff for keepin em coming.
We appreciate you watching!
Another inspiring video. photographers from the past had so much creativity and style with the limited tools that they had back then. I appreciate your channel as it Iintroduces me to photographers that I would never come across in my lifetime and is clear we have so much we can learn and implement in 2024. thank you 👍. From Edinburgh. Scotland 🏴
Couldn't agree more! Thank you. Love Edinburgh. I have relatives in Dundee.
I agree with you there Delilah re documentary as it tends to look at, not within the subject. Thank you Jeff and Delilah.
Excellent point.
Agreed, sir.
Awesome personality, such a great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.
Wow. What a exciting episode. Now I know who Alex Harris is as a photographer. Good one, Jeff, thanks.
Thanks Z
Great video. I discovered his work a couple years ago.
Glad you were able to discover him.
Thanks for another thought provoking episode .
You're so welcome
I must say that this is one of the best youtube channels these days. I am looking fwd for the next chapter about 2sec after watching the current one. every time. Thank you .
Thank you, I'm looking forward to it too.
Thanks, Jeff, for your work in putting together this wonderful series. I appreciate the vantage point from which you approach these interviews, helping your audience not only learn about the influences that each photographer has identified, but also to learn about their photography journey. It’s been a joy for me to listen to these conversations, and it’s exciting to be made aware of so many amazing photographers of whom I previously was not aware. There are many good UA-cam channels which focus on “how to” and techniques, but, for me, the content on your channel is more fundamental and makes me think about why I want to take photographs as well as what subjects I am drawn to most. These interviews certainly inspire me to get out and take pictures, and to think about my own photography journey more in the context of putting together a creative and meaningful story, rather than worrying about taking a single “perfect” image. Although, if a few fabulous images occur along the way, I won’t complain, ha! Thanks again, I look forward to new episodes in this series, as well as whatever you might decide to do next. Cheers….
That is a really thoughtful response! I'm glad that you've been enjoying the series.
Enjoyed this immensely, thank you both. Alex, if you read this, can you leave some more information on your choice of 'narrative artist' and the first person experience, loved this take.
I don't know if he'll read the UA-cam comments, or if he has an account.
@@TheCritHouse I see, found that part interesting. I can email him, thanks Jeff.
Eloquent, beautifully articulate, inspiring...................and the superlatives could just keep on coming.....................Alex Harris is the latest in the line of guests that have opened up in such a personal (and personable) way about their influences and the reasons for their creativity via the myFIVE series, and why your series should be on everyone's watch list. Thanks Jeff and keep these coming!
Thank you. Thats the plan
very informative with genuine passion in abundance from you both. So Enjoyable 👍👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
I could listen to Alex Harris all day! Great, inspirational episode, Jeff.
We could as well. Thank you.
Loved this episode! I recently did a deep dive into Alex's work and read River of Traps. Wonderful to see him and listen to him talk about his work. How exciting it would to be in one of his classes. I found his warm, kind voice very comforting and reassuring as he talked about his photos and his selection. Thank you both. This podcast episode was uplifing and inspiring in so many ways.
We agree! We love his work as well. Thank you.
Loved this, and the idea of working in a series like the shopping mall, and then start on something else, he has so much experience 😊
He does have a wealth of knowledge. .
Best episode yet! This is what photography is all about (IMO). Thanks.
Wow. Thanks.
Good one. d
Right? Great discussion
This was a masterclass in photography! A++++
Agreed
Wonderful episode!
Thanks David
Synergy.
True
A very insightful and informative interview. After photographing for over 50 years, it amazes me how much there is still for me to learn. There are some nuggets of wisdom both about photography and life in this conversation. Thank you for sharing.
We agree. Alex is a great resource.
I’ve been saving this for when I had time to sit down and dedicate my full attention, and it did not disappoint. Thank you for bringing us this great convo with such a legend 🙏
We really appreciate that. It was a long time coming for us as well.
I enjoyed this episode very much. No pretension , just images she liked. Well done.
I appreciate that! Thanks.
Thoughtful and opens horizons. Wonder what my five images are.
Have you figured it out yet?
Another really interesting perspective on photographers and specific photographs.............and I loved the little "asides".....................as always, looking forward to the next instalment Jeff
I'm looking forward to it as well. Thanks.
Another great episode. Great and different insight.
Thank you so much.
Very good, thanks for the conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
One of the most interesting conversations in #myFIVE Really enjoyed it. THANK YOU!
I'm glad. Thank you
These "myFIVE" series are one of the best things that happen in UA-cam about photography, seriously.
What a nice thing to say. Thank you.
I couldn’t agree more. Jeff allows the conversation to breathe, but keeps it moving as well.
You and your guests are always good value, Jeff. Informative, educational and also entertaining!
I appreciate that! Thank you
came back to look at this early video with Sam Abell, after watching the recent Sarah Leen MyFive.........................really interesting, and look forward to Sam's new book being published
What a cool way of watching it. I'm goin to go back and look at it as well.
inspirational and moving, whaat an amazing conversation, thank you
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Such a great episode. Loved her explanations and education of each photo.
Thanks for watching.
Just noticed that the image that Andreas selected for the fotofoto gallery's Phoneography competition won the grand prize in the New York Center for Photographic Art's "Wandering Curves" show. Terrific, congrats. Didn't know you had a UA-cam channel, I've subscribed and will continue looking at the great content.
Hi Eileen, yep. Everyone gets lucky once in a while. Thank you for the subscription and for the nice comment.
Very interesting! thanks
You are welcome.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Really great episode, once again. Such an interesting guest and conversation. I like the deeper inquiry into photography and exploring different approaches in the medium. Thanks
Thanks, we agree.
Fascinating! I am shaken internally for a few coming minutes.
Glad it made you think.
