Taryn Simon: An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar (2006)






Photographer Taryn Simon's series An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar (2006) presents images of the fantastical. A cryogenic preservation unit, a braille edition of Playboy,and a marijuana research lab are all subjects in this series. There is something terrifying and beautiful about the unknown and Simson is a master at tapping into this.








More on Taryn Simon to come shortly.

I'd never been interested in art, but just the look on the pictures in your blog is making me curious.
Well done!
