Captured over the course of more than forty years on streets across the USA, James Carroll's photographs present a unique collection of historic Americana. Driven by a need to preserve memory-of his own experiences and those of others-and what curator and contributing writer Sean Corcoran describes as "his yearning to see, know, and understand", Carroll explores the imperma- nence of human lives and relationships.
The images take us back and forth from a documentary approach to a more subjective realm, in which the author imagines new scenarios in chance encounters, while still commenting on the American scene. The majority of the black-and-white photographs in The Lives of Others were made with a Leica M3. Most of the images are published here for the first time.
