Synopsis

This book accompanies the first retrospective survey of this American artist. For 45 years, Jeffrey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an extensive body of work. With a background in the Fine Arts and the American photographic tradition, Harry Callahan and Edward Weston, Silverthorne developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and staged scenes. The disguised body is omnipresent. In Silverthorne's work the transsexual becomes an ultimate symbol of boundaries blurred.
