new features on the bathers: photographs by jennette williams
new yorker review
Macy Halford reviews The Bathers: Photographs by Jennette Williams in a blog post on the New Yorker’s website. See Halford’s accompanying slide show of paintings from earlier time periods that Williams’s photographs recall, and read Halford’s thoughts on the work.
“Imagine a vector, a cutaway, of a bath in Turkey and one of a sports club in Manhattan and what the bodies in each would look like at any given moment in time, how they’d be posed, their shapes. Even inside a steam room in the city, we’d sit differently than the ladies in Williams’s images do: farther apart, semi-erect, draped in towels. We are thinner, more muscular. Our notions of privacy are evident in how we sit and in the position of our eyes—cast down, away from other eyes and bodies. The Turkish bathers are engaged, with each other and with the camera.”—Macy Halford [Read more]
