Vogue Italiaさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Vogue ItaliaInstagram)「‘Sunrise/Sunset’ is a portrait-based project by @ capturing the style phenomenon of “Rest in Peace” t-shirts. ‘In 2014, while photographing the funeral of Eric Garner - the Staten Island man killed by a New York City police officer - for The New York Times, I noticed an abundance of "Rest in Peace" shirts and I began to think about the way in which we mourn; in particular, I began to think about how communities that suffer disproportionally from gun violence mourn tragic events that have become altogether routine. To me, the "Rest in Peace" t-shirt trend is not only a symbol of the ubiquity of the gun violence that disproportionally plagues African American communities, but also an act of protest against the ways in which African American lives are often misrepresented and, sometimes, entirely forgotten after these acts of gun violence. Therefore, two years later after Eric Garner's funeral, I found myself at Platinum Graphics in New Orleans, speaking with owners Bryan and Trenice McMillian and photographing customers who'd purchased shirts for friends and family members lost to guns. The McMillian's welcomed me into their shop, educated me on the history of the "Rest in Peace" shirt tradition, and introduced me to New Orleans and the customers they serve. They also told me that, in the time that they had been in business, they had put former customers on shirts as well as family members.’ Tap the link in bio to read the Q&A with #BryanThomas by @ricacerbarano on vogue.it A selection from Sunrise/Sunset will be exhibited on the @Aperturefnd Summer Open 2019 Delirious Cities at Aperture Gallery in New York from July 25 to August 29, 2019.」6月22日 5時11分
