Look at Me: Photographs from Mexico City by Jed Fielding
Studio Blue, Chicago, Illinois, 2008
Description
The close crops of these evocative photographs by Jed Fielding work to draw the reader into his compelling and challenging, but rewarding work documenting blind schoolchildren in Mexico City. The typography on the cover plays on the title, as the spot UV that creates “Look at me” is visible when close to the book, but disappears as you move farther away.
Juror Notes
Exemplary presentation of what first appears to be an unsettling subject.
Through this beautiful and bold presentation the book works toward “confronting disability in a way that affirms life.”
