The Camera Lens as a Mirror for Family History in 'My Mother and Eye'

A new exhibition called “ Carmen Winant: My Mother and Eye ” presents 35mm photographs of the artist’s 2001 trip from Philadelphia to Los Angeles in collage alongside the frames of Super 8 footage Winant’s mother captured during her 1969 trip from Los Angeles to Niagara Falls. Photographer and archival artist Carmen Winant talks about using images as an inter-generational bridge, and what it means to be displaying those images on bus stop shelters around New York, Chicago and Boston. The exhibition is on view through Sunday, April 6. Click here to see the NYC viewing locations.
