お店の棚からアメリカにまつわる写真集を選択しました。後で見返すと大きく分けて4種類の写真集があって、一つ目は店頭で人気のあるもの。二つ目は郊外文化など、思い描くかっこいいアメリカ。(ただしアメリカに行ったことはないのでステレオタイプな見方を反映するものかもしれない。)。したがって三つ目はアメリカの現実的な側面や日常が感じられもの。そして最後は女性フォトグラファーのもの。アメリカの女性はとてもパワフルなイメージがある。そんなパワフルな女性フォトグラファーが撮影した女性の美しさ、奔放さ、残酷さ、思春期など女性の様々な側面を感じられる写真集を選びました。
Our selection of American photobooks is exclusively composed of books that are sold at the Standard Bookstore. The ten photobooks listed here are broadly divided into four types. The first grouping includes photobooks that are popular in our shop. The second are books that address what we perceive as “ cool American suburban culture.” But we need to preface that by saying that we’ve never been to the U.S., so this perception might be more reflective of stereotypes.The third type contains what we feel is a real depiction of everyday American life. And the fourth grouping showcases American women photographers, who explore the following characteristics as they relate to women: beauty, wildness, cruelty and adolescence.
1. Cass Bird. Rewilding. (Bologna: Damiani, 2012).

2. Bruce Davidson. Subway. (New York: Aperture, 2011).

3. Jim Dow. American Studies. (New York: powerHouse Books and Durham: Center for Documentary Studies, 2011).

4. Lee Friedlander. The New Cars 1964. (San Francisco: Fraenkel Gallery, 2011).

5. Maggie Harrsen. KANOA ‘the free one’. (New York: self-published, 2011).

6. Jacob Holdt. United States 1970-1975. (Gottingen: Steidl & Essen: Folkwang Museum, 2007).

7. Helen Levitt. Helen Levitt. (New York: powerHouse Books, 2008).

8. Sally Mann. At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women. (New York: Aperture, 1988).
