One of the world’s preeminent photographers, Sally Mann first came to international prominence in 1992 with “Immediate Family,” a controversial series of complex, enigmatic, and sensual pictures of her own children. What Remains follows the creation of Mann’s new seminal work: a photo series revolving around various aspects of death and decay. Never one to compromise, Sally Mann reflects on her own personal feelings toward mortality as she continues to examine the boundaries of contemporary photography. Shot over five years at her family farm in Virginia, the film contains unbridled access to the many stages of Mann’s work and is a rare glimpse of an eloquent and brilliant artist.
