Assembly presents "What Did the Deep Sea Say” by New York-based visual artist Sara Macel. This NFT collection explores the private lives of women dealing with their own unique circumstances at different points in time while swimming in the same waters. "What Did the Deep Sea Say” was inspired by a suitcase full of photographs belonging to Macel’s deceased grandmother that unearthed an unknown chapter in her family history that led to Hollywood, Florida. In this seaside town that appears lost in time, Macel retraces her grandmother’s footsteps while also photographing the landscape, her mother, and herself. By interspersing medium-format color photographs with her grandmother’s black-and-white images from the 1940s and her mother’s color snapshots from the 1970s, a visual conversation emerges.
NFT DROP: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15th at 11:11AM ET
And join @AssemblyCurated on Twitter Spaces with @SaraMacel the day before the drop on Tuesday June 14th at 1:00PM ET for a conversation about the evolution of the series, how we use photography to tell our stories, and how Macel used the medium to uncover family secrets.
I’ll be teaching a Crash Course in Photo History with Photo Phlo this summer over Zoom.
Course Description: In this three-session course we will explore the history of photography from its early inventors to the present day when photography permeates all aspects of our contemporary culture. We will discuss the visionary minds that propelled the medium forward and how culture and technology are intertwined. Think of this as your own personal Cliff Notes to Photo History charting major photographs, photographers, and movements – with some fascinating anecdotes along the way.
