    Justin Kimball (American, b. 1961)

    For his series Who By Fire (2022), which was published as a monograph by Radius Books in 2022, Justin Kimball considers contemporary American life as it relates to a complex history of economic, religious, and political power constructs. Unflinching photographs of people in neighborhoods, streets, yards, and public communal spaces document the duality of struggle and hope. The people depicted are juxtaposed within compositions that point to visual markers of humanity in the landscape, either unintended or by design. Together, the works present a collision of past and present that question ideas of time, resilience, place, and community.

    Justin Kimball is a recipient of the Guggenheim (2003) and Aaron Siskind (2012) Fellowships. In addition to Who By Fire (2022), he has published three other monographs. Kimball’s work has been exhibited widely and is in the permanent collections of Getty Museum, Los Angeles; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Center for Creative Photography, Arizona; Amon Carter Museum, Texas; and various others.
