As one of the world's preeminent photographers, SaIIy Mann creates artwork that chalIenges viewers' vaIues and moral attitudes. Described by Time magazine as "America's greatest photographer," she first came to international prominence in 1992 with lmmediate FamiIy, a series of complex and enigmatic pictures of her three chiIdren. What Remains--Mann's recent series on the myriad aspects of death and decay--is the subject of this eponymously titIed documentary.
Filmed at her Virginia farm, Mann is surrounded by her husband and now-grown children, and her wiIlingness to reveal her artistic process aIlows the viewer to gain excIusive entrance to her worId. Never one to compromise, she refIects on her own personal feelings about mortaIity as she continues to examine the boundaries of contemporary art. Spanning five years, What Remains contains unbridIed access to the many stages of Mann's work, and is a rare glimpse of an eloquent and briIliant artist.
