This work is number 5 from the sold-out edition of 5 + 1 AP.
Of this series, Misrach says: 'Some of the work has been carefully edited to foreground the vulnerability, ambiguity and unease of my subjects. I often catch swimmers who look like they're drowning or fleeing some menace or are burying themselves alive in the sand. Another component of the work is its unusual perspective -- literally -- on a number of dynamics: group behaviour and social space; individual play and the performative; sensual pleasure and our fragility within the natural world. Informing the entire project is a sense of voyeurism and surveillance-- the camera as the virtual panopticon of our time.' (Art Photography Now, Aperture, 2005, p.57)
