A series of photographs taken in cities like Austin, Asheville, Portland, and some small towns in Georgia. In each of these portraits, Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identity; within unfamiliar territory where the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel.

The new life La Vie Nouvelle
Lise Sarfati Text by Olga Medvedkova, Translation by Richard Pevear
This new book by Twin Palms Publishers features a series of fifty photographs
by French photographer Lise Sarfati. The photographs were taken in cities like
Austin (Texas), Asheville (North Carolina), Portland (Oregon), Berkeley, Oakland
and Los Angeles (California), New Orleans (Louisiana) and some small towns in
Georgia.
In each of these portraits, Lise Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent
identity; within unfamiliar territory - both emotionally and physically - where
the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an
intensity that adults will never again be able to feel. We are talking here of a
kind of parallel reality, an interstitial territory which doesn't understand
geographical spaces or political systems, which no longer belongs either to a
completely real reality or to a consciously conceived fiction, but rather finds
itself fed by its own rituals and codes of behaviour, where the dividing line
between good and bad, happiness and sadness, innocence and perversity or
reality and fantasy is extensively blurred.
