The American South has become a nexus of film production in the
United States. By 2016, more major features were being shot in
Georgia than in California. Commissioned by the High Museum in
Atlanta as part of their Picturing the South series, Alex Harris
explored cinematic representations of the South by visiting and
photographing the making of over 40 independent fiction films
across the region. Using a documentary approach to capture scenes
that unfolded on or around the set, Harris' images tell the story
of a new South while also hinting at more universal aspects of life
- the ways in which we are all actors in our own lives, creating
our sets, practicing our lines, refining our characters, playing
ourselves. These photographs also tell a story about our
increasingly visual culture and explore the rapidly evolving world
of independent filmmaking, one that is little known to audiences
outside the film festival circuit.
