"Sarfati’s (born 1958) work is defined through an opposition to the editorial urge to fix narratives to her subjects. Her images create a loose, layered and intensely rich visual project triggering emotions and thoughts that move well beyond her ostensible subjects. Sarfati’s importance in today’s debates about the role and visual languages of socially engaged photography also rests in her resistance to fully objectify the subjects that compel her to make imagery. The American Series represents one of those rare experiences for photographers where the photographs almost―just―happened. Sarfati did not overly choreograph her subjects; she also created the psychological space for them, in turn, to act upon her and to act up―or down―for the camera. This perhaps accounts for Sarfati’s success in re-presenting American young people as simply, individually and universally the carriers of states of minds." ―Clare Grafik, Photographers Gallery, London

Editorial Reviews

Review

In each of these portraits, Lise Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identity; within unfamiliar territory-both emotionally and physically-where the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel. We are talking here of a kind of parallel reality, an interstitial territory which doesn't understand geographical spaces or political systems, which no longer belongs either to a completely real reality or to a consciously conceived fiction, but rather finds itself fed by its own rituals and codes of behaviour, where the dividing line between good and bad, happiness and sadness, innocence and perversity or reality and fantasy is extensively blurred.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Captures Young Adults
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2006
I was overwhelmed by the beautiful young people in this book. Lise Sarfati captured them perfectly. "The New Life" is the only title for this glorious work of art. A wonderful book for all ages. This purchase was for my Mom, since I had already received the book as a gift. Many thanks to Lise Sarfati.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take a second look at life
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2006
Lise Sarfati's THE NEW LIFE appears in both a regular trade and a limited autographed edition to appeal to any interested in photos of young 20-something men and women. From stark background home settings to striking poses or faces, THE NEW LIFE makes you take second and third looks at individuals and their settings, without including the angst or oddities of a Diane Arbus-like approach. Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary is what THE NEW LIFE is all about.

Une plongée dans la banlieue américaine à travers ces portraits d'adolescents en quête d'identité.
Lise Sarfati fixe ces instants d'errance ou le lâcher prise est plein de vérité.
