Synopsis
of the Documentary:
What
Remains
As
one of the world's
preeminent photographers,
Sally Mann creates
artwork that challenges
viewers' values and
moral attitudes.
Described by Time
magazine as "America's
greatest photographer,"
she first came to
international prominence
in 1992 with "Immediate
Family," a series
of complex and enigmatic
pictures of her own
children. This work,
and the controversy
that followed it,
was chronicled in
Steven Cantor's award-winning
short film, "Blood
Ties".
What Remains returns
to follow the creation
of Mann's new seminal
work: a photo series
revolving around various
aspects of death and
decay. Never one to
compromise, Sally
Mann reflects on her
own personal feelings
toward death as she
continues to examine
the boundaries of
contemporary photography.
Shown at home on her
family farm in Virginia,
she is surrounded
by her husband and
now-grown children,
and her willingness
to reveal her artistic
process as it unfolds
allows the viewer
to gain exclusive
entrance to her world.
Spanning five years,
What Remains contains
unbridled access to
the many stages of
Mann's work, and is
a rare glimpse of
an eloquent and brilliant
artist.
