Jeremiah Dine’s Anne-Marie is a visual document of Dine’s relationship with his wife over 40 years. It explores their shared passion for one another, for the world around them, and their distinct visions as fellow artists. What happens to two people who shape their life together over the course of four decades? How does one’s view of a loved one change and deepen over so long a time? “The images in Anne-Marie involve not just one camera, one face and body, one pair of eyes,” writes Francine Prose in her introduction, “but two consciousness merged to make something that didn’t exist before, and that only existed at that one moment in time.” Created using a combination of 35mm and 120mm film, black-and-white and color, digital, Polaroid, iPhone, disposable camera, manipulated and traditional techniques, this book is a kaleidoscopic, compelling statement on how photographing someone is a means to understand yourself. It is both a portrait and a self-portrait of the duality of a long-term relationship.
