America as a place and an idea has occupied Mitch Epstein's art for the past five decades. With the first photographs he made in 1969 at 16-years-old Epstein began confronting the cultural psychology of the United States. Although he started working in an era defined by the Vietnam War civil rights rock and roll and free love he responded hardily to each radically different era that followed-from Reaganomics to surveillance after 9 11 to the current climate crisis and resurgence of white supremacy. More than a single era or issue it is the living organism of American culture that engages Epstein no matter how much the country changes he describes something mysteriously and persistently American. Conceived of and sequenced by Andrew Roth Sunshine Hotel assembles 175 photos made between 1969 and 2018-more than half previously unpublished. Yet the book is not simply a retrospective. It traces both the evolution of an artist and the development of a country revealing Epstein's formal and thematic shifts in tandem with America's changing zeitgeist and landscape. Sunshine Hotel is a visual immersion that forgoes linearity and a classical layout as it sets forth Epstein's evolving understanding of his country's pathologies and promise.
