Day Sleeper — Dorothea Lange, Sam Contis, Mack 2020
An iconic archive is re-read through a contemporary gaze. Drawing from Dorothea Lange’s vast body of work, Sam Contis constructs a quiet, fragmented narrative around rest, withdrawal, and vulnerability. Shifting away from familiar documentary images, the selection reveals intimate and lesser-known photographs—family scenes, studio portraits, street moments. Rather than survey, the book operates as a dialogue, exposing affinities between two practices and reframing Lange’s work through absence, pause, and suspended time.
