About Reimagining the Image
This series examines film, photography, and new media from the artist’s perspective. Taking lens-based work as a starting point, Reimagining the Image invites in imagemakers who pose questions about the social function of photography, use alternative and emerging practices, and ask critical questions about the form.

About Midlife (Monacelli Press)
From acclaimed photographer Elinor Carucci comes this vivid chronicle of the passage through aging, family, illness, and intimacy.
It is a period of life that is universal to everyone, yet this narrative—in all its nuance—is strikingly absent from our cultural dialogue. Midlife (October 2019) is a moving and empathetic portrait of a woman grappling with inexorable change. As we observe the visual and unavoidable details of life— graying hair and aging skin, the pressure and joys of marriage, illness and recovery from a hysterectomy, parents becoming grandparents, and accepting children’s increasing independence—we are invited to witness and reflect on the experiences we all share contending with the challenges of life, love, and change.
