An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar Taryn Simon Artist Taryn Simon assumes the dual role of shrewd informant and collector of curiousities, compiling an inventory of what lies hidden and out-of-view within the borders of the United States. She examines American culture through careful documentation of diverse subjects from the realms of science, government, medicine, entertainment, nature, security, and religion. Transforming the unknown into a seductive and intelligible form, Simon confronts the divide between those with and without the privilege of access. Her sometimes ethereal, sometimes foreboding compositions, shot with a large-format view camera over a four-year period, vary as much as her subject matter, which ranges from radioactive capsules at a nuclear waste storage facility to live HIV and medical waste to a black bear in hibernation.
