Telling Tales presents a survey of work by artists who record stories through pictures, whether real or imagined. Sixteen groundbreaking photographers are featured, including such greats as Gregory Crewdson, Nan Goldin, Jessica Todd Harper, Erwin Olaf, Alec Soth, Jeff Wall, Paul Graham and others, with photographs spanning the early 1970s to the present.




Across the history of the medium, photographers have indeed undertaken a range of strategies to tell stories. Their results propose a form of narrative that is somewhat distinct from cinema, literature, or oral tradition, one that is ambient, potentially allusive, and above all, an invitation to the viewer to collaborate and explore.
