Christopher Chadbourne State Fair The Last Living Munchkin from the Wizard of Oz and Other Stories
State Fairs, an annual American ritual, are a willingly accepted assault on the senses – visual, acoustic, gastric (fried beer the latest delicacy) and a voluntary yielding of personal space to strangers. "Chadbourne, like (David Foster) Wallace does in prose, brings back amazing images in his signature, close-up style. With his wide-angle lens and flamboyant use of color he finds the kinds of insanely tight juxtapositions that bring to life the crash and chaos, not to mention the pressing humanity, that is the true experience of a fair at full frenzy." (Bill Kouwenhoven)
State Fair was a Critical Mass finalist and has been published and exhibited at international festivals, museums and magazines in the USA, Europe and South America. Chris was interviewed on NPR (National Public Radio) and a film on State Fair was featured in a session on "Surrealism's Impact on Photography as Documentary and Fine Art" at the FestFoto International Festival in Brazil.
