"I AM HERE: Home Movies and Everyday Masterpieces is a fresh and ambitious book that brings together expressions of a universal human impulse: the desire to record our daily lives--from cave paintings to Instagram--through a myriad of media including painting, photography and works on paper, alongside everyday personal artifacts including family photo albums, mixtapes, time capsules, postcards, and notably, home movies. With texts by Stephen Broomer, Lynn Crosbie, Jordan Fee, Alexa Greist, Robyn Lew, Rick Prelinger, and Jim Shedden, and newly commissioned cover and interior artwork by Fiona Smyth."--
