Review: Vince Aletti reviews "The Intimate Line" at Sepia International


Three photographers (Elinor Carucci, Sunil Gupta, and Angelika Sher) and a video artist (Amy Jenkins) look at childhood with empathy and concern.

Carucci takes center stage with terrific color pictures of her very young children, which recall Sally Mann's early exploration of the pleasures and terrors of motherhood. The photographer, who appears as naked as her kids, nods to classic mother-and-child images only to undermine them with a tantrum and temperature, bruises, messes, kisses, and a playful moment of erotic exploration.
