The American Series represents one of those rare experiences for photographers that is impossible to simulate or confidently repeat, where the photographs almost just happened. Sarfati did not overly choreograph her young subjects and, instead, was carried by her own adage that by creating, she was exploring and understanding them. While her presence acted upon these young people, 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 representing American young people as, simply, individually and universally the carriers of states of minds. Her acute compositional sense combined with an instinctive feel for color, texture and contrast creates a physical and psychological space which is both engaging and, ultimately, elusive. Item #1642
