Debbie Fleming Caffery: In Light of Everything

The first career survey on a leading chronicler of the American South

Examining the deep emotional relationship between people and place, Louisiana-based photographer Debbie Fleming Caffery (born 1948) is recognized as a leading chronicler of the American South. Her shadowy, blurred, black-and-white images thoughtfully reveal shared human experience--childhood, spirituality, labor--and ultimately bring darkness to light.
Debbie Fleming Caffery: Come to Light immortalizes in book form the artist's first major career retrospective presented at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The publication is her most comprehensive to date, showcasing projects produced in the American South and West, as well as in France and Mexico, and is the first to feature all series from across the course of her career.
