From Coco Capitán’s naval adventure to Tina Barney’s opulent documentation of summers spent on the East Coast ... ☀️
There’s nothing quite like plunging into the cool cerulean waters of a pool on a hot summer day – but for photographer Larry Sultan, it was a spine-tingling feat. “When I was 12 I almost drowned in the ocean …. Water is the only bit of nature I know that we can’t control, that seems overwhelming when you enter it,” he told students at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980.
In the mid-70s, he entered the depths of the San Francisco Bay Area’s public pools to capture swimmers in an ethereal light, creating evocative, hallucinatory imagery while facing his own fears of death. Distorted by the refractions of waves and ripples, the resulting works have a beautiful, unsettling ambiguity that peel away the photographer’s fears. The series continued until 1982 and went largely unseen until last month, when MACK published a book of the lyrical, dreamlike images.
