マイケル・ジャン
Michael JANG
マイケル・ジャンの物語はユニークだ。過去40年間、彼はポートレート写真家として生計を立て、ジミ・ヘンドリックス、ロビン・ウィリアムズ、ウィリアム・バロウズなどの象徴的な人物を撮影してきた。しかし、この控えめなアジア系アメリカ人写真家は同時に、ビバリーヒルズのセレブリティ・パーティからカストロ政権下のキューバの若者たち、サウス・シティのギャングから西部開拓時代のロデオ、70年代後半のパンク・ロック・シーンから2000年代初頭のサンフランシスコの10代のガレージ・バンドまで、社会のあらゆる階層から数多くのグループやサブカルチャーに潜入し、記録してきた。彼のイメージは、その率直な正直さ、決断力、活気によって特徴づけられる、特定の時点の寓話である。SFMoMAは最近、彼の初期のプリントを多数収蔵し、ギャリー・ウィノグランド、ダイアン・アーバス、リー・フリードランダーといった同時代の写真家たちとともに展示している。
