20x200

Stephanie Cinelli's 20x200 edition, You Are Important, was recently featured in an interview with comedian Samantha Bee in The New York Times Magazine! In the rather humorous interview, Samantha discusses working at The Daily Show and the challenges of raising children, and reflects on her "Self-Referential Object": Cinelli's You Are Important. Of the photograph she says:

It’s a sad photograph from a series about the first places men go after being separated from their families. That’s my wheelhouse. I like to wallow in others’ misery.

After the interview ran in the New York Times, the Huffington Post also included a piece on Cinelli's 20x200 edition in their newly launched "Divorce" section. Still, Cinelli herself provides the most valuable insight into the meaning behind her series:

The idea behind this series was to document the changes in the home of a family as the process of a divorce was occurring. In this instance, the mother was the one to leave the home while the father and sons remained. Due in part to the fractured family unit, as well as the absence of the matriarch, a quiet emptiness became evident as time went on. The subtle changes in the home were the things that spoke the loudest about the difficulty of this emotional transition.

Given the variety of collectors who have found a way to incorporate You Are Important into their homes, it's no wonder that this edition is very nearly sold out!
