Shown is “Untitled”, 1981, (from the rich and poor series) from Jim Goldberg. Allowing the subject to write their own description and include it in the presentation of the image clearly breaks the distance between subject and viewer. I’m always surprised how frank the comments are on the photos. It remains to be seen how long the art world will support a non-ironic stance that only a few photographers are using to address complex social issues.
