Spell, Time, Practice, American, Body — RaMell Ross. Published by MACK Books.
The first book by photographer, filmmaker and artist RaMell Ross is long overdue. This book combines his best known large-format color work from Hale Country, Alabama along with more recent sculpture and performance based work. Bound together by rivets and resembling a dossier, the book deftly weaves together Ross’ poetic prose essays and luminous images into a vital statement about contemporary America, its violent histories, and the US south.
