{"product_id":"64916-kris-graves","title":"Kris Graves","description":"With a mixture of architectural shots and poetically frozen moments of daily life, photographer Kris Graves reveals the lived reality of racism and elitism in the United States. Privileged Mediocrity shows both the brutality and the beauty of everyday American life. Each portrait, each location tells its own complex, moving story – in their entirety, the images capture the longing for the unfulfilled promise of a true democracy. Racism manifests nationwide in infrastructure and planning: from the exclusion and disadvantage of entire neighborhoods, untenable conditions in public housing in areas with high pollution, lack of public transport and other daily necessities, to the displacement of the homeless. This book examines systemic injustice in US society and explores how racism, capitalism, and power structures have shaped the country – and how this is visible and tangible in everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/edition-hatjecantz.de\/products\/werk-52996?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=kris\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003eexclusive edition\u003c\/a\u003e of this publication is also available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKRIS GRAVES (b. 1982, New York) is a photographer and publisher.
