Photographs of secret sites

Taryn Simon’s artistic medium consists of three integrated elements: photography, text, and graphic design.

Taryn Simon exhibits her startling take on photography to reveal worlds and people we would never see otherwise. She shares two projects: one documents otherworldly locations typically kept secret from the public, the other involves haunting portraits of men convicted for crimes they did not commit.

With a large-format camera and a knack for talking her way into forbidden zones,Taryn Simon photographs portions of the American infrastructure inaccessible to its inhabitants.
