Art in America: Roving Ei: The Growing Panic

Katy Grannan followed Dorothea Lange's path along Route 99, and Grannan's photos, both black and white and color, are monumental, timeless and sleazy. Hers is an in-your-face nation of bathers and motel signs, the squinty and grand despair of humans looking into the sun. Katy Grannan's content feels almost too large for the photos. It is like the sound was turned off and the resulting silence that you can't pull away from is agonizingly private and political.
