We have copies of Ben Schonbergers Beautiful Pig first edition for sale in our SHOP. His self-published photobook was selected as a finalist for the 2013 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation Photobook Awards: parisphoto/paris/program/2013/the-paris-photo-aperture-foundation-photobook-awards/beautiful-pig#ubkG0FKPRk0hvEGc.99 Schonbergers Beautiful Pig project is on view in the In Translation exhibition through March 8th. About the book: While working in Detroit, photographer Ben Schoenberger acquired an archive of thousands of pictures taken by retired police officer Marty Gaynor. The two began collaborating: Schoenberger interviewed Gaynor, created groups of Gaynor’s images, invited Gaynor to comment upon the pairings, and then inserted his own images and commentary. As Barbara Tannenbaum notes, “Some of these images are official; many are personal. Taken collectively, Beautiful Pig is not just a story about police work in Detroit during the late twentieth century, but about the whole world of policing. We gain a sense of Gaynor’s personality and life, and his feelings about his career. All of this is deftly told primarily through remarkable images.”
