Fingerprint

Often considered Jim Goldberg's seminal body of work, Raised By Wolves brings together ten years of photographs, texts, films and installations in an epic narrative of the lives of teenagers on the run in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In FINGERPRINT, Goldberg exhibits numerous unpublished Polaroids from the project, which served as drafts for the photographs he would later make, as well as gifts for the subjects themselves. The images are sometimes scribbled with text proclaiming the identities, challenges and resilience of the teenagers, and other times capture a quiet reality of life on the streets. Packaged in a box, the 45-sheet loose-leaf facsimile Polaroids create a freshly intimate and fragmented account of this classic work.
