Jim Goldberg

Jim Goldberg seems to do a lot of work relating to class and race separations. In his series Open See, he documented people trying to find better lives in Europe (including immigrants, victims of war, those seeking asylum). The subjects would then "destroy" the image through mark-making and including written stories of their experiences. Goldberg also uses text in his series Rich and Poor, which documents the differences between upper and lower classes in a narrative way. I find his use of interactions with the subjects powerful and eye-opening.
