In 1988, Mary Ellen Mark first published her poignant document of a
fiercely independent group of homeless and troubled youth who made
their way on the streets of Seattle as pimps, prostitutes,
panhandlers, and small-time drug dealers. Streetwise received
critical acclaim for its honest portrayal of life on the streets
and introduced us to individuals who were not easily forgotten,
including “Tiny” (Erin Charles)—a thirteen-year-old
prostitute with dreams of a horse farm, diamonds and furs, and a
baby of her own. Since meeting Tiny thirty years ago, Mark has
continued to photograph her, creating what has become one of
Mark’s most significant and long-term projects. Now forty-three,
Tiny has ten children and her life has unfolded in unexpected ways,
which together speak to issues of poverty, class, race, addiction,
and other ongoing and pressing issues. Aperture is pleased to
release a significantly expanded iteration of this classic
monograph, presenting the iconic work of the first edition along
with Mark’s moving and intimate body of work on Tiny, most of
which is previously unpublished. Texts and captions are drawn from
conversations between Tiny and Mary Ellen Mark, as well as with
Mark’s husband, the filmmaker Martin Bell, who made the landmark
film, Streetwise. Tiny: Streetwise Revisited provides a powerful
education about one of the more complex sides of American life, as
well as insight into the unique relationship sustained between
artist and subject for over thirty years.
