LaToya Ruby Frazier (born 1982) explores her family’s intergenerational lineage through photographs and videos that blur the line between self-portraiture and social documentary. By appearing on both sides of the camera and engaging her mother as a co-creator of her images, Frazier effectively turns the traditional relationship between camera, subject, and author on its head. Shot in her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Frazier’s images capture the effects of the spectacular decline of this former steel mill town.
