Beschreibung
"I went to Central Park to find the place behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art where Jennifer Levin had been killed.It was bewildering to find a scene so beautiful ... to see the same sunlight pour down indifferently on the earth. As Ishowed the photograph of this site to friends, I realized that I was not alone in thinking of her when walking by the Met.It occurred to me that I held something within: a list of places that I cannot forget because of the tragedies that identifythem, and I began to wonder if each of us has such a list. I set out to photograph sites that were marked during mylifetime. Yet, there was something else that drew me to this work. I think of it as the question of knowability. Experiencehas taught me again and again that you can never know what lies beneath a surface or behind a façade. Our sense ofplace, our understanding of photographs of the landscape is inevitably limited and fraught with misreading."Joel SternfeldBetween 1993 and 1996, Joel Sternfeld photographed 50 infamous crime sites around the US. On This Site, containsimages of these unsettlingly normal places, ordinary landscapes left behind after tragedies, their hidden storiesdisturbingly invisible. Each photograph is accompanied by a text describing the crime that took place at the location.This is the first Steidl edition of On This Site, originally published in 1996 to great acclaim.A major figure in the photography world, Joel Sternfeld was born in New York City in 1944. He has received numerousawards including two Guggenheim fellowships, a Prix de Rome and the Citibank Photography Award. Sternfeld'sbooks published by Steidl include American Prospects (2003), Sweet Earth (2006), Oxbow Archive (2008) andFirst Pictures (2011). von Sternfeld, Joel
