Join us at ICP for a conversation with the artist Brooke DiDonato around the release of her latest publication from Thames&Hudson, Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer. DiDonato will be joined in conversation by Sam Barzilay, creative director and cofounder of Photoville, followed by a signing in the ICP Shop.Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer ($60) is available to purchase at the event. This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC's Lower East Side, and online. Tickets to attend the conversation in person are $5 and include access to ICP’s galleries.Image: Brooke DiDonato, Underpass, 2017 About the BookBrooke DiDonato: Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer is a curated collection of Brooke DiDonato’s singularly surreal photography. Evoking feelings of nostalgia or disorientation, DiDonato’s work teeters between the familiar and the fantastical.Inspired by family homes in Ohio, her compositions challenge expectations of how space can be occupied. Torsos, legs, and arms contort into uncanny arrangements across sofas and ascend into attics. Ordinary surroundings often have a compelling presence—white picket fences, cornfields, deserts, and sidewalks become sites of unexpected psychological encounters, as figures are subsumed by their environments. Her pictures are playfully titled—Growing Upward Has Its Downside, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Nothing, and Went to Therapy but I’m Still in My Patterns—and poignantly touch upon contemporary anxieties and universal themes of love and loss.The most extensive collection of DiDonato’s work to date, this volume brings together her most well-known bodies of work, including A House is Not a Home, alongside new works published in print for the first time in this book.A short introduction by writer Eleanor Sutherland provides an overview of DiDonato’s practice, while an intimate conversation between Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and writer Eve Van Dyke and Brooke’s father, Bob DiDonato, offers a personal glimpse into her evolution as an artist. A one-of-a-kind photographic experience, DiDonato’s first monograph invites readers into her beguiling world, daring them to stare a little longer. About the SpeakersBrooke DiDonato is a visual artist from Ohio based in New York City. Her photographs explore the surreal within the everyday, using color, composition, and gesture to transform familiar settings into psychologically charged spaces.
