ep. 041: Artist Exploration/Jim Goldberg
This episode is out to solve a mystery: who really is Jim Goldberg? For someone currently alive who gives plenty of interviews and publishes memoir-style photo books, we still can’t shake the feeling that we are kept at an arm’s length from really understanding Jim.
Join us as we chat about Jim Goldberg, the Magnum photographer who engages in “total documentation” of his subjects. His use of collage, writings, ephemera, and even videos is all in an effort to make sure his subjects are fully seen.
Listen in and weigh in. Maybe you’ll be the one to figure out the missing piece.
