PRETEND YOU'RE ACTUALLY ALIVE - Leigh Ledare
Composed entirely of photographs and written anecdotes, American photographer Leigh Ledare's (1976-) first book Pretend You're Actually Alive is an intimate and poignant investigation into the artist's relationship with his mother, a once-promising ballerina prodigy. Part revealing family album, part development of the relationship between Ledare and his muse/mother, Ledare's photographic and video work involves creating strategies for navigating the themes embodied in this extraordinarily complex relationship.
