ANGRY BLACK SNAKE (2006)

A fantastic project and book that is impossible to find, The self-published award-winning Angry Black Snake from Michael Corridore. Corridore, winner of the Aperture portfolio prize 2008 created this beautiful project photographing spectators at various public events but became increasingly focused on those few moments where the event and the landscape in which it takes place come into direct and violent contact. In the words of Aperture book publisher Lesley A. Martin, “Corridore’s project, Angry Black Snake, is an exercise in minimalism. Each image has been pared down to the barest of elements— urgent gestures and hardly traceable figures cloaked in smoke and dust. Yet each image pulses with palpable emotional tension, telegraphed by these starkest of representational sketches and the subtle shifting colors of the clouds that descend upon each scene like a flimsy curtain.
