Composed entirely of photographs and written anecdotes, American photographer Leigh Ledare’s (b. 1976) first book, *Pretend You’re Actually Alive*, is an intimate and poignant exploration of the artist’s relationship with his mother, a once-promising ballet prodigy. Serving both as a revealing family album and an exploration of the relationship between Ledare and his muse/mother, Ledare’s photographic and video work involves devising strategies to navigate the themes embodied in this extraordinarily complex relationship.
