Pendant quatre ans, Tamara Reynolds s’est plongée dans la vie des gens qui vivent juste au-dessus de la survie sur un bloc carré dans l’ombre du Drake Motel à Nashville, Tennessee. Bien que le motel historique ait un passé riche en histoire avec des visites selon les rumeurs d’Elvis Presley et comme lieu populaire pour des tournages de films avec des vedettes comme River Phoenix et Dolly Parton, dans The Drake, Tamara Reynolds tourne son regard vers ceux qui vivent en marge de la société avec une dépendance moins connue ; entretien par Deborah Artman, photos en couleurs.

“I’ve been sober since 2002, and I recognized the despair, the lie you tell yourself that keeps you in the cycle of addiction,” Reynolds says. “How you keep lowering the bar to hold on to that one thing you believe is keeping you alive but it’s actually killing you. The specificity of the subject allowed me to delve deeply into a world that was far removed from my own life yet perilously close had I not found recovery. ” -Tamara Reynolds.

Tamara Reynolds “weave[s] into [her] compelling images a sense of urgency… I am in awe whenever I encounter a body of work that seems to open up new paths towards understanding the world arounds us.” – Sarah Hermanson Meister, former Curator, Department of Photography, MOMA.

For four years Tamara Reynolds immersed herself in the lives of the people existing just above survival on one square block in the shadows of the Drake Motel in Nashville, Tennessee. Although the historic motel has a storied past with rumoured visits by Elvis Presley and as a popular location for film shoots with stars such as River Phoenix and Dolly Parton, in The Drake Reynolds turns her lens on those less known living with addiction on the margins of society ; conversation by Deborah Artman.
