Taryn Simon was born in New York in 1975. She is an American Fine Art photographer, who graduated of Brown University and Guggenheim Fellow in 1993-1997.
Taryn is currently working on a new project along with taking on new assignment and exhibiting her work around the world, her photography and writing have been featured in numerous publication and broadcasts including the New York Time Magazine. She examines a culture through careful documentation of diverse subjects from the realms of science, government, medicine, entertainment, nature, security and religion which through text and image the work covert the complicated relationship between a photograph and its context.
In ‘An American Index of the Hiden and Unfamiliar’ Simon photographed with a large format view camera of 70 colour plates form a seductive collection that reflects and reveals a national identity were she documents spaces that are integral to America’s foundation, mythology and daily functioning but remain inaccessible or unknown to a public audience. This index examines subjects that while provocative or controversial that are currently legal, the work responds to a desire to discover unknown territories to see everything.
Simon use of the comment on photograph’s capacity to engage and inform the public. Her work is splendid of how they are all different from different places and situation but the good part is that it works together because it contrasts by the way is well planned.
