Like a spy, American artist Taryn Simon uncovers the hidden places of the USA. Her work is a portrait of American society seen through the spaces that are foundational for America: religion, governance, security, law. Like the country itself, the meaning, says Simon, is “ever morphing.” Taryn Simon (b. 1975) is an American artist who has worked in photography, text, sculpture, video, and performance. She was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at her studio in New York, October 2016.
