Molly Berman’s most recent series explores poignant moments and scenes in small towns along the Mississippi Delta and the other in Icelandic seaside communities. By photographing each town’s unique landscapes and the people who inhabit them, Berman captures haunting images that together allude to a larger narrative.
This series is inspired by T.S. Eliot’s theory of the “objective correlative”. Berman has attempted to translate this literary premise into an artistic practice by photographing inanimate objects in a way that evokes human emotions. This series was exhibited in Tappan's group show, Dressed Up Normal in May of 2016.
