{"product_id":"susan-lipper-domesticated-land-signed","title":"Susan Lipper: Domesticated Land (Signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDomesticated Land\u003c\/em\u003e Susan Lipper navigates an apocalyptic world poised between inertia and the end of mankind, somewhere in the California desert. Uncannily tranquil, the landscape offers a trans-historical litany of monuments, icons and signs from which the author and protagonist constructs a narrative interspersed with the words of historic and contemporary women. Putting female subjectivity into relief, Lipper obfuscates the romantic notion of the desert as a land of freedom and self-enlightenment. A lone snake, a dilapidated home, the remains of a cinematic stage set, the head of a fallen woman, a military base, barbed wire: such facts create fiction, and one that serves as an unnerving political admonition concerning the current state of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in April 2012 that Lipper began to make pictures in the California desert. This was the beginning of \u003cem\u003eDomesticated Land\u003c\/em\u003e, her enigmatic finale in a trilogy of books, following \u003cem\u003eGrapevine\u003c\/em\u003e (1988–1992) and \u003cem\u003etrip\u003c\/em\u003e (1993–1999). The three-part journey, which spanned nearly thirty years and ended in 2016, saw Lipper travel from the forested Appalachian frontiers in the East of the United States – with a stint across the I-10 highway – to the so-called wilderness of the West. Her expedition was anchored in a dual search for ‘true’ America and her own territory: a personal, female perspective of a male-driven land, and a new fictional account of a well-trodden narrative. Pushing and pulling against the documentary tradition, Lipper’s \u003cem\u003eLand\u003c\/em\u003e is her last resort in quest of a redeemable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Embossed bare board hardcover; English; 96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Publisher: MACK Books  \/  Pub Date: April 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Dimensions: 10.63 x 0.39 x 9.45 inches (W x L x D)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555478900793,"sku":"210000000997","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/sl-domesticated-land.jpg?v=1790278732","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/susan-lipper-domesticated-land-signed","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
