SUNSHINE HOTEL - MITCH EPSTEIN LEINEN

America  as a place and an idea  has occupied Mitch Epstein's art for the past five decades.
With the first photographs he made in 1969 at 16-years-old  Epstein began confronting the
cultural psychology of the United States. Although he started working in an era defined by the
Vietnam War  civil rights  rock and roll  and free love  he responded hardily to each radically
different era that followed-from Reaganomics to surveillance after 9 11  to the current climate
crisis and resurgence of white supremacy. More than a single era or issue  it is the living
organism of American culture that engages Epstein  no matter how much the country changes  he
describes something mysteriously and persistently American. Conceived of and sequenced by
Andrew Roth  Sunshine Hotel assembles 175 photos made between 1969 and 2018-more than half
previously unpublished. Yet the book is not simply a retrospective. It traces both the
evolution of an artist and the development of a country  revealing Epstein's formal and
thematic shifts in tandem with America's changing zeitgeist and landscape. Sunshine Hotel is a
visual immersion that forgoes linearity and a classical layout  as it sets forth Epstein's
evolving understanding of his country's pathologies and promise. Co-published with PPP Editions
