密西西比州 - 木兰州 - 美丽的黑白照片

纪实摄影师拉里·尼休斯的第二本书

“美国仍然在那里……你只需要寻找它。” ——拉里·尼休斯

《密西西比梦》是法国摄影师拉里·尼休斯继他的“写给美国的情书”《一切都没有改变》之后的第二本书。在这本书中，尼休斯选择深入探讨他对美国三角洲地区的迷恋，并重点关注伟大的密西西比州。在对南方腹地文化的热情探索中，尼休斯捕捉到了密西西比州远超风景和蓝天的方方面面。这些图像是在 2020 年和 2021 年面对流行病以及严重影响密西西比三角洲的重大洪水时拍摄的。这部原始而充满激情的作品捕捉了一系列的瞬间；从蓝调传奇人物在当地标志性自动点唱机的史诗般的表演，到更私密的环境。它记录了有百年历史的浸信会传统和通常被称为“地球南端的地方”的日常生活。这些照片讲述了一个既怀旧又超现实的故事，肯定会激发人们对木兰州生活的深刻认识。

· Mississippi - the Magnolia State - in beautiful black and white photographs

· The second book by documentary photographer Larry Niehues

· "America is still out there... you just have to look for it." - Larry Niehues

Mississippi Dream is French photographer Larry Niehues' second book following Nothing Has Changed, his 'love letter to America'. For this book, Niehues chose to go deeper into his fascination with the Delta region of the United States and focus on the great state of Mississippi. In this passionate exploration inside the culture of the Deep South, Niehues captures aspects of Mississippi far beyond landscapes and blue skies. These are images that were taken throughout 2020 & 2021 while confronting a pandemic, as well as major flooding that deeply affected the Mississippi Delta. This raw and passionate body of work captures a range of moments; from epic performances by Blues legends at iconic local juke joints, to more intimate settings. It documents century-old Baptist traditions and everyday life in what is often referred to as 'The Most Southern Place on Earth.' The photographs tell a story that feels both nostalgic and surreal, and is sure to inspire a deep sense of what life is like in the Magnolia State.
