Kelli Connell, “Pictures for Charis” | Aperture PhotoBook Club

“Pictures for Charis” offers a groundbreaking new work by artist Kelli Connell, synthesizing text and image, while raising vital questions about photography, gender, and portraiture in the twenty-first century.
For our April 2024 Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering, Aperture executive director Sarah Meister and photographer Kelli Connell joined Lesley A. Martin, editor of the book, alongside Rebecca Senf, chief curator at the Center for Creative Photography (the publishing partner for this title), and Emily CM Anderson, the book’s designer.

What an happy birthday gift ! A reconnection to the complex lives from 1965 to even 2025 with 3 creative exhibitions.
This photobook video is a full treasure for whom like the work of art of Weston entangled with comtemporary images well balanced between grey and peach.
This creative process is a prism of so many talented influences.
Bravo 😉👌🎶

Wonderful presentation! Another book to buy... too many books so little time. Looking forward to owning this one! "Through Another Lens" by Charis is a very good read in case you have not read it.
