"Mann asks us in What Remains to contemplate the beauty and efficiency with which nature assimilates the body once life is over. Here she seamlessly connects the landscape of the earth to the topography of the body and examines how both are tightly interwoven." —Philip Brookman, commenting on What Remains series
Her fifth series
What Remains published in 2003. This was a rather large collection filled with five different sections. The first section enclosed prints of her family’s decomposed greyhound, Eva. The second section included photographs of the deceased at a federal Forensic Anthropology Facility. The third section is a portion of her property where an armed fugitive took his life. The fourth section is a memoir of the battlegrounds of
Antietam.
This work celebrates Sally Mann's perceptiveness and breadth of imagination. It includes not only the photographs of children for which she is renowned, but also earlier landscapes and her unexpected, compelling forays into color and abstract photography.
