In this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the
iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's
extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world
centred around the figure of the day sleeper - at once a symbol of
respite and oblivion. The book shows us one artist through the eyes
of another, with Contis responding to resonances between her and
Lange's ways of seeing. It reveals a largely unknown side of Lange,
and includes previously unseen photographs of her family,
portraiture from her studio, and pictures made in the streets of
San Francisco and the East Bay. Day Sleeper will be featured
alongside other works of Contis' in the exhibition Dorothea Lange:
Words & Pictures at the Museum of Modern Art, February-May
2020.
